o2 Sensor difference, please help
I recently got another o2 sensor since mines is broken (wires broke off and inside the sensor rattles) and when i was about to switch i saw one had a male clip and the other had a female. What can i do now? can i switch the clips? or will that cause an issue? It is off my car right now, and car is in the air

Take the new part back and take the old part to match up to the correct new part, you should only buy an O2 Sensor from the Dealer anyways, at least that is most professionals opinion, yes they can be expensive.

One sensor having a male connector and the other sensor having a female really does not make sense.
What year and sub-model is your Accord? Your friend's Accord?
Do you need your Accord running right away? If so, go to a junkyard and buy a used OEM one for cheap. Then order a new OEM one in January.
It is hard to give suggestions without more info. No disrespect intended, but especially if you are kind of a newbie, try to be exact.
Clips? Or connectors?

Different OBD systems, thus different O2 sensors.
They purpously make them with different connectors, just to avoid situations just like this.
Even when you buy a universal replacement (Bosch :p ), you have to specify year, make, model and position.
Do yourself a big favor and buy the correct one.

www.densoproducts.com shows the connectors for both O2 sensors for the above to be male and different part numbers. Also, as has been pointed out, they are going to work differently, depending on model, year, etc.
At least one of the two you currently have may be aftermarket junk as well.
Hopefully the connector on your Accord into which the O2 sensor plugs is female. If not, someone's really monkeyed with your car.
Blah blah sounds like you're on track now.

F22B1 is an EX all right. So this doesn't add up. Like I wrote, I would be checking to see if something's been modified such that you have a male connector at the engine. I am just going by the pictures of the exact, direct fit O2 sensors available at several sites on the net. Maybe go to a junkyard and look at the Accords there, since it is hard to help without actually seeing your car. Or someone else will chime in.

I do not trust these pictures from parts houses, they are only generic pictures of a Honda O2 sensor not of the actual part for your specific purpose, very few sites show actual parts out of the box with your part number on it.

Re: o2 Sensor difference, please help
does anyone know if you have a poorly designed aftermarket cat where the o2 sensor is on the bottom and you hit something and it cuts the wires off if it will ruin the pcm? i'll have a more elaborate post tomorrow sometime... but get ready this car turned out to be a major PITA$$
