Abstract: An exhaust gas sensor includes a sensor element configured to communicate with an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine, and a contact pin assembly including a first portion configured to be electrically connected to the sensor element when the contact pin assembly is installed in the exhaust gas sensor. The contact pin assembly also includes a second portion configured to be connected to the first portion in either of a first configuration, in which the contact pin assembly has a first overall length, and a second configuration, in which the contact pin assembly has a second overall length less than the first overall length. The second portion is selectively connected to the first portion in the first configuration or the second configuration depending on a length of the exhaust gas sensor.

Abstract: A replacement kit for replacing an electrical device coupled to a vehicle via a plurality of vehicle lead wires. The replacement kit includes a replacement electrical device, a plurality of lead wires extending from the replacement electrical device, and a housing assembly for protecting a spliced connection formed with the lead wires to create an electrical connection between the electrical device and the vehicle. The housing assembly includes a base having a plurality of individually isolated bores extending therethrough. Each bore is capable of housing a spliced connection of a respective vehicle lead wire and a respective replacement electrical device lead wire, and each bore has therein a plurality of seal rings to form a substantially water-tight seal around the associated portion of the spliced connection. The housing assembly also includes a cap secured to the base. Preferably, the electrical device and the replacement electrical device are oxygen sensors.
