"Hi Syuzi, Thanks for your reply. I do have a few samples of woven ribbon, one is from Ohmatex. I think I understand what you mean in terms of the woven fibers being isolated properly, evenly spaced, tension state etc. Would you be able to clarify…"

Connecting conductive thread to wire

I am looking to connect sewn conductive 4 ply threads to wires (in a close proximity layout along an elastic) for an assistive device I am designing, and cannot find any hardware out there that specifically suits this purpose.It seems to be the big stumbling block in using conductive thread technology: soft to hard connection.Permanent, durable and clean interfacing that is scalable for manufacturing? As well, there is risk of shorting/crisscrossing with exposed thread/jingling metal bits…See More
