Interconnection ELITEX-I / ELITEX-I

Interconnection thread / wire

For compounds of thread-like structures and components with linear

expansion is the crimping technique well suited as a base technology

and ensures high reliability and effectiveness.

Types of Interconnection – Crimping

22

Interconnection thread or wire / surface

For wires, cords, conductive threads and wired components the method can

be regarded in principle.

For interconnections in areas where both contact points are already fixed (for

example stitching by Soutage-technology) there are fundamental problems.

The damage of the textile by the crimping tool can not be avoided (upper and

lower tool meet in a mechanical way).

Types of Interconnection – Piercing

23

Source: Catalogue Nicomatic

Piercing: Usually in one step a cutting tip is generated by a preform, punched

in the contact area and then closed at the bottom of the structure by an anvil.

• Used in microelectronics for embossing of connector pins, connecting

flexible printed circuit boards or other conductive foil, linking between

flexible and rigid circuit boards

• Allows the penetration of a contact in conductive (textile) areas and fits

well with textile behaviour. There are conventional technologies available

• Machines and processes still need to be adapted for textile use.

Types of Interconnection – Winding

Preparation with

conductive varnishwinding,

Cut off remains

Secure the connection

Winding and Wire-Wrap technology was used in automation and computer

technology in the 1960s and 1980s.

• Corresponds very well to the conditions of conductive textile fibers (soft,

gentle and flexible connection)

• High manual effort if any small machinery (wrap gun) is not available and

high demands on the skill and practice of the performer

• Superseded in favor of soldering

• For the connection of conductive threads each other or threads with

metallic strands there are almost no reliable alternatives

Metallized burdocks are newly developed and still an issue in

research. They were originally intended for the mechanical fastening

of sheet metal parts for quick assembly.

Two-piece construction similar to Velcro (hook and loop), but much

more stable than Velcro

Types of interconnection – Metallized burdock

26

The hooks (about 2 mm in height)

reach into the metallic Velcro.

By pressing the two joint partners

they get hooked up there.
