Conductive Thread – 1m (Stainless Steel)

This is about 1m of con­duc­tive thread spun from stain­less steel fiber and wound on a spool. You can use it as a cre­ative way to con­nect var­i­ous elec­tron­ics onto cloth­ing projects. This large spool is a great way to get into wear­able elec­tron­ics with­out a large upfront cost and a large enough quan­ti­ty to not be afraid of mak­ing a few mis­takes.What sets this thread apart from the oth­er con­duc­tive thread that we car­ry is the fact that it’s actu­al­ly spun from stain­less steel fibers (as opposed to plat­ed sil­ver) and does­n’t have a Nylon core. 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. Also, it’s some­what ‘hairy’ and can be slight­ly more dif­fi­cult to work with in close, fine con­di­tions than the oth­er thread. Our res­i­dent E‑Textiles expert sug­gests wax­ing the thread for hand sewing, as this should take care of any ‘hairy thread’ issues. Since wax­ing is imprac­ti­cal in machine sewing appli­ca­tions, avoid sewing close con­nec­tions by machine as the ‘hairs’ could poten­tial­ly short across small dis­tances.Features & SpecsMade from Stain­less Steel FibersResis­tance: 5 Ohms/ftYouTube link :Related
