1. Drain coolant and refill (ensure no air locks)
2. Run engine at fast idle to ensure fan kicks in
3. If 2 is ok and gauge still shows dodgy the i'd replace sensor

(obviously I am pointing at the sensor with my finger)
This is mine (doesn't have the sensor)
My sensor is here
Let me know if that sorts you out

Isnt the fact the wire isnt there/connected more of a pressing question than the type of connection?

Just a quick suggestion for you as I have had a similiar issue myself…I found the gauge on my car would not move at all.
Just make sure and check the relay on the fuse board… I pulled out the related relay from the fuse board to find the points on the said relay corroded with rust which obviously was the root of my problems (My car had been lying up for quite a while). On my car a 1988 Gti Cabriolet the relay was marked relay 1 and was in the top left hand side of the fuse board but yours maybe different.
I have a spare temp sender which is working as I replaced mine thinking that was my problem I am betting your issue is similar to mine.
Check that relay and see what happens.
Cheers
