Silver conductive thread is a flexible fiber that conducts electricity and handles like standard sewing thread. It allows for the integration of electrical pathways into fabrics, making it ideal for sewn circuits or e-textiles. This sample was made in Germany, hence the German silber.
Handling Notes
- High-Flex 3981 Sliber silver thread is used for antistatic properties, electromagnetic shielding, smart textiles, and heating functions
- It features fine, flattened wires for conductivity and is more oxidation-resistant than copper, making it suitable for long-term or washable circuits
