Abstract
An exhaust sensor module assembly has a sensor module and a shield. The shield is shaped to receive the module. The shield has a first mounting leg and a first flange extending from a first end of a base plate, and a second mounting leg and a second flange extending from a second end of the base plate. The shield is rotationally symmetric about an axis extending through and normal to the base plate.
Claims20
A shield for an exhaust sensor module comprising:
- a base plate having first and second opposed ends;
- first and second opposed side walls extending from the base plate, each side wall extending between the first and second ends of the base plate;
- a first flange extending outwardly from the first end and co-planar with the base plate;
- a second flange extending outwardly from the second end and co-planar with the base plate;
- a first mounting leg extending outwardly from the first end;
- and
- a second mounting leg extending outwardly from the second end;
- wherein the shield is rotationally symmetric about an axis extending through and normal to the base plate.

An exhaust sensor module assembly comprising:
- a sensor module with first and second opposed side walls, each side wall providing an electrical connector and a mounting flange extending outwardly and defining an aperture therethrough;
- and
- a shield shaped to receive the module, the shield having a first mounting leg and a first flange extending from a first end of a base plate, and a second mounting leg and a second flange extending from a second end of the base plate, the shield being rotationally symmetric about an axis extending through and normal to the base plate;
- wherein each electrical connector of the module is covered by a respective one of the first and second flanges of the shield;
- wherein each mounting leg of the shield has a first portion connecting a second portion to the base plate, the second portion defining an aperture therethrough;
- and
- wherein the apertures of the mounting legs of the shield are aligned with the apertures of the mounting flanges of the module.
