Hello,
I want to attach this sensor to a PCB. I plan to cover the end of the sensor with epoxy glue to fasten it securely to the PCB but first I want to find a way to make a good conductive binding between the sensor and the PCB's copper. I could probably use a screw terminal block but I am looking for a solution with a lower profile. Some kind of conductive glue would be nice.
Any idea ?
Thank you in advance.
How do you tie a conductive rubber stretch sensor to copper

There are conductive epoxies. The problem is that the rubber is flexible and the epoxy is not, so I would expect the bond to pull apart over time. How about soldering the lug of a crimp terminal to the board then crimp the cord in the terminal?
