Yes, that's the freeze protection sensor (a thermistor).  It should be
tucked into the fins on the top of the evap, a couple or three inches
from the refrigerant inlet fitting (that's where it'll start to freeze
if it does).  There's usually some of the black mastic (like around the
TXV) that's used to hold it in place.
