Abstract
A current sensor is provided with a planar member formed within a first opening of the sensor housing and extending inwardly from an inner periphery of the housing. The planar member extends into the first opening and is provided with a second opening through its structure. The second opening formed in the planar member is shaped to permit a portion of an electrical conductor to extend therethrough. The planar member is captured between a portion of the electrical conductor and an external object in order to permit the current sensor to be rigidly retained in a predetermined position relative to the external object. This means of fastening a current sensor to an external object eliminates the need for additional rivets, screws and bolts that would otherwise be required to perform this function.
