Abstract
A sensor assembly includes a fastener body extending from a fastener end to an opposite sensor end along an elongation direction. The sensor end is shaped to be inserted into a sensor port of an air dryer. A sensor substrate includes one or more conductive bodies protruding from the sensor substrate and one or more first conductive pathways coupled with the one or more conductive bodies. The sensor assembly also includes a sensor coupled with the sensor substrate and conductively coupled with the one or more conductive bodies by the one or more first conductive pathways. The sensor is configured to sense a humidity of air flowing through the air dryer. The one or more conductive bodies of the sensor substrate are positioned to engage one or more arcuate or annular conductive pathways in the air dryer in different rotational positions of the fastener body relative to the air dryer.
