Abstract

An electric woven switching matrix comprises an insulating field fabric made by interweaving insulating fibers, conducting wires interwoven into the insulating field fabric, and sections for installation of circuit elements over the matrix area. The conducting wires, passing through these sections and intended for forming, by cutting, matrix contact terminals to be electrically connected with the lead-outs of the circuit elements installed on the matrix, extend out from the insulating field fabric, extend over the surface of a respective section and extend back into the insulating field fabric. Exit points from the insulating field fabric and entrance points into the insulating field fabric for odd sets of conducting wires are staggered with respect to exit points from the insulating field fabric and entrance points into the insulating field fabric for even sets of conducting wires.

Claims

1. An electric woven switching matrix comprising:

an insulating field fabric formed of a plurality of interwoven insulating fibers;

a plurality of conducting wires arranged in sets with each set comprising two generally co-extensive conducting wires interwoven with said plurality of insulating fibers of said insulating field fabric;

a plurality of sections for installation of circuit elements over the area of the matrix, each of said sections including;

sets of said plurality of conducting wires which form, by severing, matrix terminals to be electrically connected with lead-outs of a circuit element to be installed in said section,

said two conducting wires of each set of conducting wires extending out from said insulating field fabric at points disposed on one side of said section, extending over the surface of said insulating field fabric and extending back into said insulating field fabric at points disposed on an opposite side of said section,

said exit points from said insulating field fabric and said entrance points into said insulating field fabric for the conducting wires of odd sets of conducting wires of said sets of conducting wires being staggered with respect to said exit points from said insulating field fabric and said entrance points into said insulating field fabric for the conducting wires of even sets of conducting wires of said sets of conducting wires to provide overlapping regions of said even and odd sets of conducting wires which are of substantially greater length than the spacing between adjacent sets of conducting wires.
