Abstract
The eyelet of a snap fastener conductor extends both through an adhesively coated supporting sheet and a gel pad whereupon a flange on the eyelet cooperates with the gel pad to form a cup-like cavity in which electrolyte gel is placed. The supporting sheet is formed from a substantially moisture and water vapor impervious material and cooperates with a cover that is also substantially moisture and water vapor impervious having a cavity receiving the gel pad to prevent gel dry out. The gel pad receiving cavity has a centrally located plug that enters the cup-like cavity during assembly to displace the gel into adjacent portions of the gel pad and also to resist substantial movement of the snap fastener conductor when a lead wire is attached.
