Abstract
A sensor assembly is configured to be securely connected to a portion of an engine, for example, of a vehicle. The sensor assembly may include a main body, a connector shroud extending from the main body, a port extending from the main body, a deflectable locking member extending from the main body, and a radial tab extending from the main body. The connector shroud is configured to receive an electrical connector that electrically connects the sensor assembly to an engine control unit. The port is configured to be inserted into an opening formed in the portion of the engine. The deflectable locking member and the radial tab cooperate to securely connect the sensor assembly to the portion of the engine, such as through rotation of the sensor assembly in relation to the engine.
