What the heck is the name of that sensor in the Air intake assembly???

I tried ordering one from Autozone, and I ordered an IAT, Intake Air Temperature sensor, which I thought would be an eletrical component. BUT, when the part came in, it was the thing that the vacuum tubes connect to.

What is the name for the vacuum THERMAC piece (that the vacuum lines connect to), and what is the name of the little circular sensor (that electric wires connect to)?
I did a search, and names are used interchangably for the two different parts .

as far as I know it is called an IAT and is is electrical. Sounds like someone screwed up.
