of resistor tracks 125 a pair of conductors 126 and a pair of contact pads 127 and 128 clips 134 are pressed over contact pads 127 128 and sensor terminals 47 the clips make an electrical connection between the contact pads and the sensor terminals the end 117 of contactor 116 is in contact with one of the resistors 125 the other end 118 is in contact with the other resistor 125 in operation as rotor 54 rotates ends 117 and 118 wipe or slide along resistor tracks creating a potentiometer a voltage is applied between contact pads 127 and 128 as contactor 116 slides the voltage drop changes across the resistors and at contact pads 127 and 128 terminals 47 would be connected to external signal conditioning circuitry as is well known in the art the angular position of the actuator can be determined from the voltage level the external signal conditioning circuitry may be added internally to the sensor if desired referring to fig4 actuator and sensor assembly 20 is shown mounted to an intake manifold 200 of an internal combustion engine manifold 200 has a cavity 200 screws 204 are used to attached manifold 200 to bracket 22 a driven shaft or manifold valve shaft 206 has ends 207 208 and a notch 209 end 207 is retained and held in bore 108 end 207 can be held by a metal flat portion 210 in bore 108 engaging notch 209.
