Abstract

A knitted textile includes a textile electrode region, a conductive trace region that terminates in a knitted extension, conductive material, located at an intersection of an ablated area and the textile electrode region, configured to provide an electrical connection between the conductive trace region and the textile electrode region, sealing film, placed around the conductive material, configured to protect the conductive material and seal the conductive material from one or more textile layers that surround the electrical connection, and an outer sealing patch surrounding the textile electrode region and configured to provide a moisture barrier between the textile electrode region and the one or more surrounding textile layers. The conductive trace region includes one or more electrical conductors twisted with an insulator. The knitted extension is configured to overlay a portion of the textile electrode region and includes the ablated area where the insulator has been removed.
