A connector and method for electrically connecting to a series of closely spaced edges for use in monitoring individual cells using bipolar plates of a fuel cell stack. The connector includes an elongated elastomeric strip with electrical conductivity for a first side thereof to an opposing side thereof, but not having meaningful electrical conductivity in use along its elongated length. This elongate strip is held at an angle in relation to the closely spaced edges by alignment protrusions. This enables the use of a series of connectors which nest together to contact all the closely spaced edges. A plurality of electrically conductive elements are located on a printed circuit board against the opposing side of the elongated elastomeric strip in corresponding relationship to the closely spaced edges located against the first side of the elongate elastomeric strip. Means is provided for exerting a force to push the first side of the elongated elastomeric strip against the closely spaced edges is also provided.
