Abstract

Method for electrically connecting an electrical conductor to an electronic component including the steps of providing a textile material in which at least one flexible, wire-like and/or thread-like electrical conductor is arranged, providing the electrical conductor relative to an electrically conductive contact point of the electronic component, and electrically connecting the conductor to the contact point comprising the steps of electrically connecting an at least partly electrically conductive auxiliary contact to the conductor, and electrically connecting the auxiliary contact to the contact point, wherein the auxiliary contact is a metal lamina. In one embodiment, the auxiliary contact and the conductor may be joined to one another as they are joined to the contact point.
