ELECTRONIC SUBASSEMBLY FOR APPAREL

摘要

An electronic subassembly includes a base panel including a layer of fabric material, a top panel secured to the base panel so as to form a compartment between the base panel and the top panel, where the top panel includes an exterior surface that is configured to couple the subassembly with an apparel product, and a plurality of electronic components, where a first electronic component is disposed within the compartment and a second electronic component extends from the compartment to a location external to the compartment. A strain relief mechanism can also be provided that maintains a first electrical connection of the first electronic component with a second electrical connection of the second electronic component to reduce strain imparted to the first and second electrical connections when the surface of the apparel product to which the subassembly is secured is subjected to stretching or pulling forces.
