Patent ID: 7658000

Claim:
A method for attaching a proximity probe offset to an axis defining an extension cable comprising: disposing first and second ferrules, longitudinal axes of each extending in parallel with a first direction, at least partially within a molded cylindrical part, having an exterior including opposing surfaces, a longitudinal axis of the molded cylindrical part extending in parallel with a second direction that is transverse to the first direction, such that said first and second ferrules extend from respective ones of the opposing surfaces of the molded cylindrical part; disposing a sensing element in a recess configured in an end of said molded cylindrical part, the recess being displaced relative to the end of the molded cylindrical part in parallel with the longitudinal axis of the molded cylindrical part; attaching leads from said sensing element to respective said first and second ferrules; and attaching an extension cable to respective said first and second ferrules, thereby operatively connecting said sensing element with said extension cable.
