Connection system for sensor device

摘要

A system for connecting remote equipment to a sensor device having a connector coupled to at least two terminals located on different portions of the sensor device. The portions of the sensor device may be an anterior portion and a posterior portion with each having at least one terminal. In turn, the terminals are nested on top of one another and at least one terminal is electrically accessible through a window region of the other portion. Further, the terminals are alignable with each other and with a connector by alignment indicators, which may provide a visual alignment indication for the terminals as well as a mechanical alignment of the connector with the sensor device.

主权项

1. A sensor device for a human patient, the sensor device comprising:
a connector; a first electrode mounting portion having a first substrate surface with a first conductive terminal applied onto the first substrate surface, the first substrate surface having a first window and a first alignment element formed in the first substrate surface; and a second electrode mounting portion having a second substrate surface with a second conductive terminal applied onto the second substrate surface, the second substrate having a second window and a second alignment element formed in the second substrate surface, wherein alignment of the first and second alignment elements includes overlapping, in a planar manner, the first and second substrate surfaces to register the first and second windows, and wherein registration of the first and second windows permits electrical communication between the first and second conductive terminals and the connector when any of the first and second conductive terminals is positioned on top of one another.
