Smart Textiles Set – FSD™/ELITEX® XT

The unique FSD™ sequins (Functional Sequin Device) revolutionize textile design by seamlessly integrating electronic components onto various fabrics. Featuring high-quality 0805 form factor LEDs, these functional sequins provide a stunning lighting experience. Due to their handy design, FSD™ sequins can be freely placed on any textile, while also offering electrical connectivity through the combination with an electrically conductive yarn. With Shieldex's electrically conductive yarn and FSD™ sequins, you can create unique, luminous textiles.

The use of pre-made LEDs in the sequins saves users the tedious task of soldering LEDs onto the textiles. Furthermore, the simple connection of the illuminating sequins with electrically conductive yarn eliminates the need for inflexible and hard wires as conductors in the fabric. By embroidering the illuminating sequins, the textile remains soft and flexible, thereby maintaining wearer comfort. The application possibilities of electrically conductive yarn in conjunction with FSD™ sequins are extremely versatile. Experience textile design in a completely new dimension.
