Frequently Asked Questions
Flexibility, durability, and a fine gauge are paramount. The wire must be able to bend and move with the fabric without breaking, and it needs to be thin enough to be integrated seamlessly. Pelican Wire specializes in ultra-fine, flexible wires that are ideal for the next generation of smart fabrics.
Our wires can be used in heated clothing, biometric monitoring garments, and flexible electronic circuits integrated into fabrics. We work with innovators in the fashion and technology sectors to bring their e-textile ideas to life.
Yes, we offer a range of biocompatible insulation materials that are safe for use in wearable applications. We work with our clients to select the appropriate materials based on their specific product requirements.
We can design e-textile wires that are resistant to washing, but the specific care instructions will depend on the materials used and the overall construction of the garment. We work with our clients to develop solutions that meet their durability and care requirements.
We can produce wires as fine as 58 AWG (0.00039 inches in diameter), which is thinner than a human hair. This allows for seamless integration into textiles without affecting the drape or feel of the fabric.
While we don’t produce conductive threads or yarns ourselves, we can provide the fine-gauge conductive wire that is used to create them. We can work with your textile partner to provide the right wire for your specific yarn or thread construction.
Stranded wires are more flexible and have a longer flex life than solid wires, making them a better choice for most e-textile applications where the wire will be subject to bending and movement.
Yes, we can provide our e-textile wires with a variety of insulation colors to match your fabric or design requirements.
We can provide our e-textile wires with pre-stripped ends or with specific connectors attached to facilitate easy connection to your electronic components.
The future of e-textiles is bright, with applications ranging from advanced medical monitoring to interactive fashion and performance-enhancing sportswear. Pelican Wire is at the forefront of this innovation, providing the custom wire solutions that will power the next generation of smart fabrics.
