A flexible liquid detection sensor is provided comprising a flexible dielectric sheet. A detection field, formed from a pair of conductive traces overlies a first surface of the flexible dielectric sheet, having a resistance responsive to a liquid overlying the conductive traces. The conduction field has an impedance characteristic independent of the selected length of the dielectric sheet. Therefore, the sensor can be cut to almost any length, without the sensor length impacting the liquid sensing resistance measurements. In one aspect, conventional electrical wires can be soldered to the traces to form an electrical interface with the monitoring and alarm equipment. Alternately, the connector may include a clamping mechanism to physically secure the connector to the flexible dielectric sheet, along with an electrical interface that includes pins, to at least partially penetrate the dielectric sheet and engage the conductive traces, in response to securing the clamping mechanism.
