Abstract
The present disclosure relates to sensors including pressure sensors, humidity sensors, flow sensors, etc. In some cases, a connector assembly for a sensor assembly may include an electrical connector, a printed circuit board and a conductive outer housing. The electrical connector may include a mechanical connector and electrical terminals exposed at a first end and at a second end of the mechanical connector. The electrical connector, printed circuit board and conductive outer housing may all be electrically connected to one another. In some instances, a plurality of electrical connectors having different mechanically shaped second ends and similarly shaped first ends may be provided, from which one electrical connector may be chosen for use in the connector assembly.
