Conductive Thread - 60g (Stainless Steel)

This is Kitronik's very own Electro-Fashion® branded Conductive Thread and we think it is among the best conductive thread available. It is perfect for hand sewing and can also be used on the bottom bobbin of a sewing machine (this will require the thread to be wound on to the smaller bottom bobbin first). Conductive thread can be used like conventional sewing yarn, however it electrically conducts allowing electronics to be integrated into textiles. This makes it ideal for use in a range of e-textile applications. The thread is nano plated with silver to make it conductive. The conductive thread has a generally low resistance but it does vary. We have measured between 40 and 160 ohms per meter, depending on the tension the thread is under. Once sewn the resistance is typically in the middle of this range. Over time the silver plating will degrade particularly if washed and we have measured in excess of 280 ohms on some of our older examples. Resistance does not vary significantly from one length of thread to the next, so you should be able to use this thread without concern for "dead" sections. The conductive thread has a breaking strain of around 9.3 pounds (4.2 kilos). It comprises roughly 96 individual filaments, each coated with a micron-thick layer of natural silver. This plating of the yarn is done in Europe to ensure as high a quality finish as possible. In construction, 16 of these filaments are wound together to form an initial twist; two of these twists are then twisted together, and finally three of these twists are combined to form the finished thread. The conductive thread is approximately 18 denier. It is heavier than a regular sewing thread, but not as heavy as an upholstery thread. It can be sewn on most domestic sewing machines using either a regular needle or the next size up. This thread does not fray. Features: No (or very low) fray. Conductivity = approximately 40Ω per metre (12.2Ω per foot). Count = 875 dTex. Strength 3000 cN. Elongation at break = 37%. Twist = 240Z-380S. Contents: 1 x Reel Electro-Fashion®, Conductive Thread, 50 yards / 45m.

Mit unserem lustigen Sortiment an leitfähigen Materialien war es noch nie so einfach, Cosplay und Wearables herzustellen!  Dieses leitfähige Nylonband lässt sich hervorragend mit unseren anderen interessanten Materialien kombinieren, wie z. B. Kupferband, ITO-Glas oder -Plastik, leitfähige Tinte usw. Wir haben festgestellt, dass das metallische Nylongewebe einige große Verbesserungen gegenüber einfachem Kupferband aufweist.  Zunächst einmal bricht es nicht, wenn es gebogen oder verdreht wird! Man kann also alle möglichen seltsamen Formen und Pfade herstellen, ohne sich Sorgen über gebrochene Leiterbahnen zu machen. Es ist auch flexibler, so dass man es auf flexible Materialien kleben kann. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite befindet sich ein leitfähiger Kleber, so dass Sie ihn direkt auf kapazitive Pads kleben können. Es hat eine hohe Leitfähigkeit, nur ein paar Ohm pro Fuß. Es ist nicht ganz so leitfähig wie reines Kupferband, aber man kann damit durchaus kleine Bauteile betreiben. Allerdings kann man damit nicht löten wie mit reinem Kupferband. Sie können es aber nähen, da es aus Stoff besteht. Jede Bestellung wird mit einem 8 mm breiten und 10 m langen Band geliefert. Es ist lang genug, um es für eine Reihe von Projekten zu verwenden. Schneiden Sie einfach die Größe ab, die Sie brauchen, und heben Sie den Rest auf.

This is 12 meters of smooth conductive thread spun from stainless steel fiber and wound on a plastic bobbin. Use it to sew up all of your e-textile projects. This small bobbin is a great way to get into wearable electronics without the upfront cost of buying an entire spool of thread. Close to 40 feet of thread is enough to get a simple design stitched onto your shirt, backpack or hat. What sets this thread apart from the other conductive thread that we carry is the fact that it’s actually spun from 12UM stainless steel fiber making it incredibly smooth and without the loose hairs seen on other bobbins. This means that while it may not be easy to solder to, because it’s stainless, it also won’t burn up when you touch it with a soldering iron. Suitable for hand or machine sewing (as a bobbin thread). We’ve had no trouble using it for close, tight connections, but if you’re worried, waxing the thread should keep it manageable!
