3. Importance of Electrical Interconnections in Textiles Electrical interconnections are crucial for the functionality of wearable components. Efficiency of cabling affects the overall performance of smart textiles. Key factors include comfort, reliability, resistance to repetitive stresses, washing, and daily activities.

4. Integration Methods Flexible cables are sewn into garments to connect sensors and electronic devices. Examples of conductive textile buses and elastic ribbons Conducting fabric Conduction elastic Ribbon

5. Fabric-Level Electrical Interconnections Conductive yarns can be either partially fixed on the fabric's surface or embedded within the fabric structure . Weaving/Knitting with Conductive Yarns Conductive yarns replace non-conductive fibers during the textile manufacturing process at specific locations Example : Integrated interconnection using two elastic conductive yarns made by twisting stainless steel yarn around an elastic core (Lycra) and covering it with polyester yarn.

6. Embroidering Conductive Thread Conductive threads are embroidered onto finished fabrics at a later manufacturing stage . Example: Textile antenna: Conductive yarn (insulated or not) is fixed on the fabric using standard yarn embroidery
