Abstract
A connection member which is electrically connected to a conductive fabric having conductive threads, a method for manufacturing the connection member, and a connection structure are provided. The connection member includes a band-shaped part including conductive wires which extend in a longitudinal direction, and a connection terminal which is attached to an end portion of the conductive wires. The method includes forming an original band-shaped member by weaving while using the conductive wires for a part of warp and using at least non-conductive threads for weft; exposing the conductive wires at an end portion of the original band-shaped member;
and attaching a connection terminal to the exposed conductive wires. The connection structure includes the conductive fabric and the connection member, and the conductive wires of the connection member are electrically connected to the conductive threads exposed from the conductive fabric.
