Snap buttons as stable and removable electrical connection method for knitted conductive textile and the Breathpal Electronic sensor

At: Saxion

The main question of this thesis: "How to create a stable and reliable electrical connection method between a snap button and the knitted conductive RIP straps of the Breathpal the Wearable Breathing Trainer?"


Four different types of snap buttons were combined with three different types of stabilizers and without stabilizer, resulting in 16 different samples. The two different experimental designs were executed comparing these 16 types of samples. The outcome of these experimental design showed promising results for the combination of the Jersey Snap button with vinyl as stabilizer. This combination also meets other requirements. So the answer: "How to create a stable and reliable electrical connection method between a snap button and the knitted conductive RIP straps of the Breathpal the Wearable Breathing Trainer?" the combination of a Jersey snap button with vinyl as stabilizer.
