Abstract
A method for electrically connecting conductive thread (40) at any number of termination locations of a textile material (5) with an termination element preferably formed in a circuit board with the following steps being provided: placing the circuit board in a respectively formed recess of a support plate of a tool with the termination locations (122) of the circuit board (12) facing upwardly; arranging the material (5) on the circuit board (12) such that in the area of the termination locations of the circuit board (12) a termination location of the material (5) which is to be connected is being placed. Fixedly mounting, preferably by clamping the material adjacent to and on a side of the termination locations of the circuit board, preferably stretching the material (5) in longitudinal direction wherein the direction of the extension of the conductive threads. Fixedly clamping the material in an area opposite to the first clamping area and adjacent to the desired termination location. Soldering the blank conductive threads (40) to the termination locations of the circuit board (12).
