SENSOR FOR IN-VIVO MEASUREMENTS
First Claim
1. A sensor for in-vivo measurements, comprising:
- a substantially planar substrate, the substrate comprising a sensor shaft having multiple electrodes, a sensor head having metallized contact fields, and strip conductors connecting the contact fields to the electrodes, wherein, when there are no bending forces acting on the substrate in an unused sensor, the sensor head laterally protrudes from the sensor shaft such that the contact fields are arranged aside the sensor shaft; and
a support part in which the sensor head is arranged, the support part and sensor head together forming a first electrical plug connector, wherein the first electrical plug connector is connectable to a second electrical plug connector in a connecting direction, the connecting direction extending crosswise to the longitudinal direction of the sensor shaft.

Abstract
The invention relates to a sensor for in vivo measurements comprising a planar substrate, and a sensor shaft bearing several electrodes, and a sensor head for connecting the sensor, wherein the sensor head has metal surfaces as contact fields for contact making, which are connected to the electrodes by way of conductor paths. The sensor head protrudes laterally to the sensor shaft so that the contact fields are arranged laterally from the sensor shaft, whereas the conductor paths extend in parallel on the sensor head transversely to the longitudinal direction of the sensor shaft. Also disclosed is a system having a sensor as just described and a suitable plug connector therefor.
