Abstract:
An object adapted to have a sensor element (5) mounted thereon, the object comprising a body part (1 ) with a layered structure of alternating coating layers of conducting (6) and insulating or semiconducting (11 ) material. The coating layer(s) of conducting material (6) is/are applied in a pattern establishing conductive path(s) between a first part adapted to carry a sensor element (5) and a second part adapted to establish connection to exterior equipment. The conductive path(s) is/are arranged along an exterior surface of the body (1 ). Thereby a connection may be established between a sensor element (5) arranged inside a closed system and the exterior of the closed system without the need for separate feed through connections. Suitable for use in closed systems, such as hydraulic systems, where it is desired to measure various parameters, such as pressure or temperature. Furthermore, a method of forming the object.
