Shouldn't be a huge issue for you but power sensors get killed all the time in shared labs, especially the thermal ones with no DC block. 5 V will destroy it. A pin with 25 um protrusion will destroy it. The sensor is wire bonded inside the connector and the rest of the unit is just cheap DC electronics so a repair is near full cost.

I'm far more careful about what I connect mine to than even the VSA.
