Smart Textile Washable Connector

With the RK02 series, JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics) introduces a compact, washable connector designed for smart textiles.

As smart clothing becomes increasingly sophisticated, incorporating more sensors and wiring to detect movement and monitor vital signs, there is a growing need for precise, stable connections with a high pin count.

With the aging of the population, preventive healthcare using smart textile products is becoming increasingly important. Smart textile products, including electronic muscle stimulators, are frequently used for primary prevention to improve lifestyle, secondary prevention for early disease detection, and tertiary prevention to restore function through rehabilitation, etc. Research into applications utilizing smart textiles is advancing.

The RK02 series is a multifunctional and compact smart textile connector for future healthcare applications that require high-precision sensor technology, and is currently being developed in a beta version.

The connector on the textile side is waterproof and can be washed in a household washing machine. In addition, the connector on the textile side features embroidered wiring to facilitate the installation of the small connector on textile products.
