Patent ID: 7578710

Claim:
An electrical device for determining electrical variables, comprising: an electronic circuit adapted to determine the electrical variables; a first conductor section; a second conductor section mechanically coupled to the first conductor section via a single conductive interface that provides an electrical connection between the first conductor section and the circuit; an attachment point adapted to mechanically stabilize the device by attaching the device to an external object; and a single, solid connecting region in which the interface is located, wherein the single, solid connecting region: connects at a first end to the attachment point, connects at a second end opposite the first end to a housing of the device, extends between the circuit and the attachment point, and includes a substantially central axis passing through a center point thereof, the central axis further passing through a center point of the attachment point, wherein the interface is offset in a first direction along a plane perpendicular to the central axis and the second conductor extends away from the central axis, in a second direction along the plane, opposite the first direction.
