Abstract
A solder-free sensing device includes a connecting assembly and a sensor. The connecting assembly includes a main body and at least two connecting pins engaged in the main body. The main body defines a receiving groove to receive the sensor. The sensor includes a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer insulated from the first electrode layer. Each connecting pin includes an end portion and an extending portion extending from the end portion. The end portion of each connecting pin is engaged in the receiving groove. The extending portion of each connecting pin extends through the main body to the outside of the main body. The sensor is electrically coupled to an external system by the at least two connecting pins.
