Abstract
A sensor apparatus is used for sensing a condition in a combustion chamber. The sensor apparatus includes a sensor housing having a sealed internal chamber. The sensor apparatus further includes a connector attached to an opening of the sensor housing. The connector transfers a signal indicative of the condition into the sensor housing. A fastener is secured to the connector. A sealing member is disposed between the connector and the fastener. The sealing member sealingly engages the connector to prevent fluid passage through the connector and into the internal chamber of the sensor housing. A method of sealing a sensor apparatus is also provided.
