Wear Sensor

Abstract

A wear sensor (10) comprising a body (12) including at least first and second ultrasonic transducers (14) for sending and/or receiving ultrasonic signals and a connection member (18). The connection member (18) comprises a planar first end portion (30) having connectors thereon for receiving signals from and sending signals to the ultrasonic transducers (14) and a planar second end portion (32) having a plurality of tabs (34) extending outwardly from a first side (36) edge thereof connected by conductors on the connection member (18) to the connectors. The second end portion (32) is embedded within the body (12) of the wear sensor (10) adjacent the transducers (14) and the tabs (34) are bent out of the plane of the second end portion (32) of the connection member (18) for connection to the transducers (14).
