Abstract

A connection assembly for the electrical and mechanical connection between a contact electrode and an electrical conductor element has a flexible sensor/electrode section in which the contact electrode is at least partially arranged. The connection assembly has at least one electrical inner conductor of the electrical conductor element for applying and/or removing an electrical voltage and/or capacitive change at the contact electrode. An electrical contact region is provided in which the at least one electrical inner conductor makes electrical contact with the contact electrode of the sensor. A connecting device is provided which can be prestressed against the contact electrode of the sensor in the contact region, with interposition of the inner conductor.
