Ships from Laconia, NH.
HC 40 | Highly conductive embroidery thread | 1000 M Cone.
HC 40 is a heavy, fully silver-plated polyamide embroidery thread with resistance <300 Ohm/m. The <300 Ohm/m resistance can be varied by using conductive bobbin thread or varying the stitches. Product oxidation and color changes do not harm conductivity. It can be used as both embroidery and sewing thread.
The developer must test all electrical devices and conform to regulations and laws. Madeira USA supplies the thread only with the described properties and no electrical applications.
