A sensor assembly (12) for detecting an occupant on a seating surface of a seat (10) includes an elastomeric mat (26) and a switch mechanism (28) disposed between a first and second plate (22, 24). When an occupant having sufficient weight sits on the seating surface, the elastomeric mat (26) compresses and the plates (22) activate the switch mechanism (28). The first and second plates (22, 24) define integrated fasteners (32) configured to slidably couple the first plate (22) to the second plate (24). The plates (22, 24) may also define integrated fasteners (32, 34, 52, 55, 58) configured to affix the switch mechanism (28) and elastomeric mat (26) to the sensor assembly (12). The integrated fasteners (32, 34, 52, 55, 58) snap together to allow the sensor assembly (12) to be assembled without any separate fastening devices, such as adhesives, threaded fasteners, or push pins. The integrated fasteners (32, 34, 52, 55, 58) reduce the number of parts needed to assemble the sensor assembly (12) and simplify the assembly process for the sensor assembly (12).
