Abstract: A stretchable fabric signal path may include a conductive strand located between first and second outer fabric layers. The outer fabric layers may be formed from intertwined strands of elastic material. The conductive strand may have a wavy shape to accommodate stretching of the stretchable fabric signal path. First and second inner fabric layers may be located between the outer stretchable fabric layers. The inner fabric layers may be formed from intertwined strands of non-elastic material. The inner fabric layers may have strands that are intertwined with the outer fabric layers to serve as anchor points for maintaining the shape of the conductive strand as the stretchable fabric signal path expands and contracts. The outer fabric layers and inner fabric layers may be woven. The conductive strand may convey electrical signals such as audio signals, power signals, data signals, or other suitable signals.

Abstract: Interlacing equipment may be used to form fabric (12) and to create a gap (66) in the fabric. The fabric may include one or more conductive strands (80c). An insertion tool (54) may be used to align an electrical component (26) with the conductive strands (80c) during interlacing operations. A soldering tool may be used to remove insulation from the conductive strands to expose conductive segments on the conductive strands. The soldering tool may be used to solder the conductive segments to the electrical component. The solder connections (82) may be located in grooves (50) in the electrical component (26). An encapsulation tool may dispense encapsulation material (260) in the grooves (50) to encapsulate the solder connections (82). After the electrical component (26) is electrically connected to the conductive strands (80c), the insertion tool 854) may position and release the electrical component in the gap. A component retention tool (220) may temporarily be used to retain the electrical component in the gap as interlacing operations continue.
