Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
placing a first conductor of a first wire into electrical communication with a first conductive trace, wherein
the first conductor is surrounded by a first insulating jacket,
the first conductive trace is located within a polymeric housing having a fluid transfer channel defined therein, the first conductive trace at least partially coinciding with the fluid transfer channel, and
a jacket bonding region of the first insulating jacket and a housing bonding region of the housing are formed from a polymer;
the polymeric housing comprises a first access passage containing the first wire;
the first conductive trace comprises a first electrode that follows a path of the fluid transfer channel and a first extension that branches away from the path of the fluid transfer channel through the first access passage,

attaching the first conductor to a portion of the first extension branching from the fluid transfer channel; and
welding the jacket bonding region and the housing bonding region.
