Abstract
A component for a garment or textile product is disclosed. The component comprises a fabric substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposing the first surface; a contact pad formed from an electrically conductive material, the contact pad being configured to engage with a connector and arranged on the first surface of the fabric substrate; a conductive layer electrically coupled to the contact pad; and an electrically conductive line mechanically coupled to, and in electrically conductive contact with, the conductive layer.
