Two different temperature sensors... why?

The parts Katalog lists 2 part numbers for the coolant temperature sensor - 996 606 410 00 which has 2 pins and 996 606 405 01 which has 4 pins. Anyone know what the difference is?
The 2000 3.2 replacement engine that I bought had a broken connector (2 pins) but the original engine, which is the same year, same model (2000 M21) has 4 pins. I was going to switch the sensors but the connector on the wiring harness won't fit. Guess I'll buy a new sensor, but is there a reason for the different number of pins?
