Hola a todos. Necesito sugerencias para traducir esta frase porque no entiendo bien qué quiere decir:
El sensor consiste en una placa metálica aislada de 1 cm2 que al ser apoyada sobre la piel sin ejercer presión forma un capacitor eléctrico entre ambas.
¿Entre ambas a qué se refiere? ¿Entre la placa de metal y la piel?
"The sensor consists of a 1 cm2 isolated metal plate that is softly placed over the skin and becomes an electrical capacitor between them"
Muchas gracias!!

becomes an electrical capacitor.
yo usaria "when placed"
y si una placa del capacitor es la piel la otra el metal

forms an electrical capacitor between the two
"The sensor consists of a 1 cm2 insulated metal plate that when placed on the skin without pressure forms an electrical capacitor between the two"
Yes, between the skin and the metal plate - if "electrical capacitor" is the right term here
Yes, between the skin and the metal plate - if "electrical capacitor" is the right term here

The two surfaces (skin and plate) forms (the armatures of) an electrical capacitor
The dielectric between the two surfaces, apparently is air unless a non conductive paste or oil is smeared on to the skin.

they become the two plates of a capacitor
The sensor consists of a 1 cm2 isolated metal plate. When it is placed on skin without pressing, they become the two plates of a capacitor.
Podría ser 'sensor and skin' en lugar de 'they'.

Discussion
Lo que se convierte en (o forma) un capacitor, en este caso, es el conjunto que componen el sensor (una de las placas del capacitor) y la piel (la otra placa del capacitor), con el aislante (aire) entre ellas.
