Default Broken sensor when replacing camshaft sensor

Had to replace my camshaft sensor. While removing the intake manifold the hose that goes to the brake booster was apparently behind another sensor and when pulling the manifold off the hose broke the sensor (see picture... broken sensor to the right of the newly replaced camshaft sensor).

Question is... what is the sensor that I broke?

Thank you! Do you need a special socket to replace these?

Yes, Unless you want break another. You can probably borrow one from the auto parts store if they have a tool loan program.

They actually do make a special socket, It's a thin wall design among other changes over a standard socket that fits where a thick wall standard socket doesn't always fit. It's one of those tools that you don't always need but handy to have around when you do.
