Claim 12:
13. An overvoltage protection kit, comprising:
a circuitry board comprising a first side, a second side, and mounting features corresponding to a sensor assembly, wherein the sensor assembly comprises a housing, a housing insert comprising one or more electrical connectors configured to couple to one or more cables, and sensor circuitry disposed on the first side of the circuitry board, wherein the first side is opposite of the second side;
overvoltage protection circuitry disposed on the second side of the circuitry board and configured to arrest at least a first portion of energy associated with one or more overvoltage transients to a ground via a first energy dissipation path comprising the one or more cables, the one or more electrical connectors, and the overvoltage protection circuity; and
a ground shield disposed inside the housing and conductively coupled to the housing, wherein the ground shield is configured to route at least a second portion of the energy associated with the one or more overvoltage transients to the ground via a second energy dissipation path comprising the one or more cables, the one or more electrical connectors, and the ground shield, wherein the at least the second portion is different from the at least the first portion of the energy.
