Ostomy appliance having an electrical connector

An ostomy appliance having an electrical connector, the ostomy appliance comprising:

• an adhesive layer on a proximal side of the ostomy appliance, the adhesive layer adapted to secure the ostomy appliance to skin of a user;
• a top layer on a distal side of the ostomy appliance;
• an electrode assembly disposed between the adhesive layer and the top layer, with the electrode assembly comprising a first electrode;
• a connector attached to the top layer, the connector adapted to provide electrical connection between a detachable data monitor and the electrode assembly, the connector comprising:
• a coupling element projecting axially away from the top layer in a distal direction with a proximal facing edge projecting in a radial direction away from the coupling element, and
• a first terminal element comprising a proximal part connected to the first electrode and a distal part connected to the coupling element:
• wherein, when the detachable data monitor is mechanically coupled with the connector, the proximal facing edge of the coupling element presses the first terminal element axially to e electrical contact with the first electrode.
