11 it is electrically insulative as the electrically conductive particles 132 are spaced too far apart to form an electrically conductive path for this purpose the concentration of the electrically conductive particles 132 in the anisotropically conductive material 13 is preferably in a range of about 5 to 10 volume percent during connection of the electronic component 12 pressure is exerted on the anisotropically conductive material 13 and the material is locally compressed so that the electrically conductive particles 132 move closer together as the electrically insulative binder 131 comprises a thermosetting synthetic resin a force is exerted at locations where the anisotropically conductive material 13 is compressed the force being such that the electronic component 12 is being pulled towards the textile substrate 11 at the location 14 the component electrode 121 is connected to the substrate electrode 111 and the anisotropically conductive material 13 has been compressed to such an extent that several electrically conductive particles 132 have been trapped between the component electrode 121 and the substrate electrode 111 thereby creating an electrically conductive path between the two electrodes in fig1 the component electrode 121 and the substrate electrode 111 are connected via a monolayer of electrically conductive particles 132 of course the connection may at least partly also.
