## Abstract

A pad for electrodes (1) including a first conductive adhesive sheet (2) for connection with an electrode, a second conductive adhesive sheet (4) for connection with another electrode, the second conductive adhesive sheet positioned to be spaced apart from the first conductive adhesive sheet in a planar direction of each conductive adhesive sheet, and a base (10) supporting the first conductive adhesive sheet and the second conductive adhesive sheet. At least one surface of each of the first conductive adhesive sheet and the second conductive adhesive sheet is exposed, and each of the first conductive adhesive sheet and the second conductive adhesive sheet has a thickness compressibility of 10% or less and a thickness recovery ratio of 95% or more. The base is a non-electroconductive base having a water absorption capacity of 1 to 1.5 times, and the pad has a moisture permeability of 1,000 g/m2/24 h or more.

## Claims

### Claim 1
