Embroidering electrical interconnects with conductive yarn for the integration of flexible electronic modules into fabric

Abstract: This paper shows how common embroidery can be used to integrate electronics into textile environment in a light and cost efficient way. A mechanism has been developed to embroider through flexible electronic modules using conductive yarn, thus creating an interconnection with other modules like sensors, batteries, textile keyboards, etc. Mold encapsulation has been found to improve the electrical contact and support the reliability of the whole system.

“…Its outer part is covered with dyed normal yarn. Electric resistance of the digital yarn is fairly low, at 7.5 Ω/m, compared with previously developed conductive yarns (Bekaert, 2011;Linz et al, 2005;TEXTILE, 2005).…”

“…An 18µm BF-TZA copperfoil [28] was laminated onto a 1.2mm rigid FR4 carrier with TacSil F20 HB tape. A Riston FX 920 dry film photoresist [29] was roll laminated onto the copper and was illuminated with an etch test pattern.…”

“…Considering the various defined categories, these methods would be the selective plating, screen printing, digital printing and embroidery. An example where embroidery of conductive yarns was used to establish interconnections between FCBs is given in Figure 4.9 and was published by Linz et al [28]. An interesting feature of this embroidery technique is that the interconnection among the modules and the electrical connection between the yarn and the flexible circuit are made in one process step.…”
