  "textContent": "A connector assembly comprises a connector and a temperature sensor. The connector includes a connector housing formed with a sensor slot, and a conductive terminal arranged in the connector housing. The temperature sensor is inserted into the sensor slot and is adapted to detect a temperature of the conductive terminal in the connector. The sensor includes a shell having a first sidewall in thermal contact with the conductive terminal, and a second sidewall opposite to the first sidewall. The second sidewall defines an interference fit portion extending from an outer surface thereof. The interference fit portion forms an interference fit with an inner wall of the sensor slot. A remaining portion of the second sidewall except for the interference fit portion is separated from the inner wall of the sensor slot by a predetermined gap. The sensor further includes a temperature sensing element arranged in the shell.",
