Abstract
A sensing element includes a body of pressure sensitive electrically conductive material formed by a non-conductive matrix of flexible elastomeric material, the matrix containing electrically conductive particles. The body is formed with spaced connection regions, at least one of which is a hole into which an electrical connector may be inserted as a push fit. The connector is oversize in a direction transversely of the hole to ensure that the connector is held in place in the body and makes good electrical connection therewith.
