Abstract
An electronic assembly (20; 30; 40; 50) for attachment to a fabric substrate (60; 82, 102) having a conductor pattern (62a-b; 85a-b; 107a-c) on a first side (63; 86; 108) thereof. The electronic assembly comprises an electronic device (23; 42; 64), and at least a first clamping member (21; 41; 65). The electronic assembly is, furthermore, adapted to clamp the electronic device (23; 42; 64) to the first side (63; 86; 108) of the fabric substrate (60; 82, 102) in such a way that the electronic device (23; 23 42; 64) is electrically connected to the conductor pattern (62a-b; 85a-b; 107a-c).
Claims16
An electronic assembly attachable to a fabric substrate having a conductor pattern on a first side thereof, the electronic assembly comprising:
- an electronic device, and
- at least a first clamping member configured to clamp said electronic device to the first side of the fabric substrate in such a way that the electronic device is electrically connected to said conductor pattern.
(canceled)
A method for manufacturing an electronic textile, comprising the steps of:
- providing a fabric substrate having a conductor pattern on a first side thereof;
- providing an electronic assembly comprising an electronic device, and at least a first clamping member;
- positioning said first clamping member and said electronic device on said first side of the fabric substrate;
- aligning said electronic device to said conductor pattern (62a-b;
- 85a-b;
- 107a-c);
- and
- locking said first clamping member in relation to the fabric substrate to clamp said electronic device to the first side thereof, thereby electrically connecting said electronic device to said conductor pattern.
