Default Damaged Sensor

So I was parking over some rough snow and got a sensor that goes to the catalytic converter ripped off. The sensor is still connected to it, but the other end to wherever it goes got ripped off. I can see some connector hanging lose and it looks damaged.

Where does that connect to? Does anyone have an illustration of it? I currently dont have pics of it, but will when I get home

well, I can see it hanging. engine light is on.

it is the o2 sensor. I just wonder if anyone have a pic of it that I can look at.

I looked at the part online, it seems to come as a whole with a cable attached to it. its like $60

alright, so managed to get underneath and looked at the damage. basically the plastic coupling is there, but the leads from the sensor got ripped out. The other end is still good.

Question: If I remove the O2 sensor which will leave a small hole in the cat, is that alright to drive for a few days?

I'll have to hit up a junkyard and just get a new connection cause otherwise its one part and its $60

i think that's the secondary o2 sensor?

does it require a special socket to remove?

no, just a 10mm one.

The whole damn thing is $60, I just need a new clip for the one end.
no one sells used ones I can use. Called a few junkyards around the area, almost no one has any hondas...
