NOVELTY - A fuel cell sensor (100) comprises a generally flat wafer (200) having two opposing major surfaces; and an electrode on each of the two opposing major surfaces the electrode extending to an outer periphery; and elongated wires (150a, 150b) having a major dimension, each of the wires including base portion; and an upright; where the base portion is arranged to be all of the following: non-linear in the major dimension; generally planar within a perimeter; and the perimeter being smaller than the outer periphery.    USE - As fuel cell sensor (claimed) for use in estimating blood alcohol content from a breath sample.    ADVANTAGE - The assembly incorporates a contact force between the wires and platinum electrode while insuring an electrical contact between the platinum electrode and wires that last over a significant period of time. This results in a design that is reliable in the field. Further, the cell does this by means independent of other assembly steps required to make a complete alcohol breath tester assembly, and by using minimum amounts of platinum wire, resulting in a less expensive yet reliable fuel cell. Also, the fuel cell sensor and assembly can be easily incorporated into a vast variety of independent housing designs that otherwise need not address the integrity of the internal electrical connection; is scalable, and, thus, not restricted to any particular size or shape of fuel cell; may be incorporated as an independent sub-assembly or in concert with the fuel cell case in some customized manner; can be very simply incorporated into a printed circuit board assembly in a robust and economical manner; and allows for incorporation of a second wafer (such as an electrolyte reservoir wafer).    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A fuel cell sensor (100) comprises a generally flat wafer (200) having two opposing major surfaces (203, 204); and an electrode on each of the two opposing major surfaces the electrode extending to an outer periphery; and elongated wires (150a, 150b) having a major dimension, each of the wires including base portion; and an upright; where the base portion is arranged to be all of the following: non-linear in the major dimension; generally planar within a perimeter; and the perimeter being smaller than the outer periphery; and where the upright is generally linear in the major dimension; where the base portion of a first of the elongated wires is arranged parallel to and in contact with a first of the electrodes; and where the base portion of a second of the elongated wires is arranged parallel to and in contact with a second of the electrodes.
