Abstract
The invention relates to a sensor adapted for electrical connection to a power source having an electrical contact means (3). The sensor has a first insulating substrate (1) carrying a first electrode (2) and a second insulating substrate (7) carrying a second electrode (6). The electrodes are disposed to face each other in spaced apart relationship, sandwiching a spacer (4) therebetween. A first cut-out portion extends through the first insulating substrate (1) and a spacer (4) to expose a first contact area (23) on the second insulating substrate (7). This permits the electrical contact means (31) to effect electrical connection with the first contact (23) which in turn is in electrically conductive connection with the second electrode (6). A similar contact arrangement may be disposed on the opposite side of the sensor.

23. A method of making a sensor adapted for electrical connection with a power source having a contactor, the method comprising the steps of:
-
providing a first insulating substrate carrying a first electrode and having an aperture, a spacer having an aperture, and a second insulating substrate carrying a second electrode, adhering the first insulating substrate to one side of the spacer, whereby the first electrode defines a first end wall of an electrochemical cell;
adhering the second insulating substrate to an opposite side of the spacer, whereby the second electrode defines a second end wall of the cell;
wherein the aperture of the first insulating substrate defines a first cut-out aperture that provides a first contact area on the second insulating substrate that is adapted to permit electrical contact with the second electrode. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
