Abstract
Glucose monitoring devices and related systems and methods, the glucose monitoring devices including a sensor electronics unit having a housing and a printed circuit board disposed within the housing, a transcutaneous glucose sensor assembly, and a conductive sensor connector. The printed circuit board includes a first electrical contact, the transcutaneous glucose sensor assembly includes a distal portion having a working electrode and proximal portion having a working-electrode contact in electrical communication with the working electrode, and the conductive sensor connector electrically connects the working-electrode contact with the first electrical contact. Further, the conductive sensor connector extends through a hole in the proximal portion of the transcutaneous glucose sensor assembly and through a hole in the printed circuit board.
