Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for attaching electronic components to interactive textiles. In various implementations, an interactive textile that includes conductive thread woven into the interactive textile is received. The conductive thread includes a conductive wire (e.g., a copper wire) that that is twisted, braided, or wrapped with one or more flexible threads (e.g., polyester or cotton threads). A fabric stripping process is applied to the interactive textile to strip away fabric of the interactive textile and the flexible threads to expose the conductive wire in a window of the interactive textile. After exposing the conductive wires in the window of the interactive textile, an electronic component (e.g., a flexible circuit board) is attached to the exposed conductive wire of the conductive thread in the window of the interactive textile.

Abstract: This document describes connectors for connecting electronics embedded in garments to external devices. The connector is configured to connect an external device to a garment to enable communication between electronics embedded in the garment and electronic components of the external device. The connector may include a connector plug and a connector receptacle. The connector plug may be implemented at the external device and is configured to connect to the connector receptacle, which may be implemented at the garment. In one or more implementations, the connector plug includes an anisotropic material that is configured to connect to a printed circuit board (PCB) implemented at the connector receptacle.

Abstract translation: 本文件描述了将电子部件附接到交互式纺织品的技术和装置。 在各种实施方式中，接收包括编织到交互式纺织品中的导电丝线的交互式织物。 导电线包括被一个或多个柔性线（例如聚酯或棉线）扭曲，编织或包裹的导线（例如铜线）。 将织物剥离过程应用于交互式织物以剥离交互式织物和柔性线的织物，以在交互式织物的窗口中露出导线。 在将互连织物的窗口中的导线暴露之后，将电子部件（例如，柔性电路板）附接到交互式织物的窗口中的导电线的暴露导电线。
