Claim 0:
1. A sensor assembly, comprising:
a housing unit associated with a longitudinal axis through the sensor assembly;
a housing insert comprising one or more electrical connectors configured to couple to one or more cables, wherein the housing insert is coupled to the housing unit;
a first circuitry board comprising sensor circuitry mounted to a first side of the housing insert;
a second circuitry board electrically coupled to the first circuitry board comprising overvoltage protection circuitry configured to arrest at least a first portion of energy associated with one or more overvoltage transients to a ground via a first electrically conductive pathway comprising the one or more cables, the one or more electrical connectors, and the overvoltage protection circuity; and
a ground shield conductively coupled to the housing unit and the second circuitry board, 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 electrically conductive pathway comprising the one or more cables, the one or more electrical connectors, the ground shield, and the housing unit, wherein the at least the second portion is different from the at least the first portion of the energy.
