Dielectric plates 11,12,13,14,15 are stacked one upon another with spacer strips 16,17,18,19 in between to provide gas channels 25. Layers 26 of electrically conducting material are printed onto the plates to provide electrodes on each side of a gas channel 25 with dielectric material intervening as a barrier layer between the electrodes. Peninsular extensions 27 of each electrode are arranged to project in the opposite direction relative to its neighbouring electrode. Apertures 28 extend through the peninsular extensions 27 transversely of the electrodes. Symmetrically positioned apertures 29 extend through the dielectric material clear of the electrode on the opposite side to the apertures 28. Apertures 28 in one layer align with apertures 29 in the neighbouring layers to provide a socket for receiving a plug connector to contact the electrodes (in each alternate layer) traversed by the aperture. |
