LEL
INTEGRATION
OVERVIEW
LELs are designed to t in a wide assortment
of garment styles and sizes by using our
sew tab (on the LEL) and sew wing (on the
garment) system. The heating LEL is secured
to the jacket by sewing the sew tabs to the
sew wings along the indicator marks, shown
here as a dotted line.
(See Sew Tabs on pg. 5 and Sew Wings on
pg. 6 for more information)

SEW TABS
Our wire-free LEL is designed for
quick integration. This is possible
because of our sew tab and sew
wing system.
What is a Sew Tab?
A sew tab is a safe area of the LEL where
there are no conductive elements. You can
sew through these marked areas (marked
with cut-out arrows) to attach the LEL to a
wing inside of the garment.
How to Use Sew Tabs
Sew tabs should be sewn to sew wings
(in the garment, covered on pg. 6) with a
mid-sized stitch from one cut-out arrow to
another. Make sure to back stitch to secure
the LEL. DO NOT sew through the element,
or though areas where there are no sew
tabs.
Do NOT sew in this

SEW WINGS
The LEL’s sew tabs are attached to
sew wings inside the garment to
provide exible sizing.
What is a Sew Wing?
Sew wings are a simple modication that
can be added to any jacket in order to
easily integrate the LEL. The wings can
be included as either part of the jacket
pattern, or as additional pieces sewn into
the seam allowance of the jacket. We
have an additional piece pictured here. We
recommend attaching sew wings to the
seam allowance of the garment shell, not the
lining.
Sew wings should be located at the nape of
the neck at the right hip and at the left hip.
For different sizes, the sew wings will need
to be wider to reach the LEL. During your lab
process, we will work with you to develop
the proper wing size and location.

SEW WING
+ SEW TAB
INTEGRATION
For production, the LEL should be attached
to sew wings before the lining is closed. We
DO NOT recommend attaching the LEL to
sew wings before the garment has been
“ipped” to have right sides out. Aggressive
handling of the LEL to invert the garment can
cause damage to the LEL
HOW TO USE SEW TABS - Sew tabs should
be sewn to sew wings (in the garment,
covered on pg. 6) with a mid-sized stitch
from one cut-out arrow to *-another. Make
sure to back stitch to secure the LEL. DO
NOT sew through the element, or though
areas where there are no sew tabs.

3. INSULATION
“BUTTON”
INTERCONNECT
The interconnect is where the
adaptor cable and battery pack plug
into the LEL.
The Interconnect has been designed to
work like a button. A button hole must be
integrated into the garment to expose the
Interconnect for the user. The button hole can
be machine sewn, faced, piped or bound. For
additional support, the hole can be glued to
the LEL to ensure that the interconnect does
not get lost between the lining and the outer.
Buttonhole Specs & Notes
With a French button hole, we highly
recommend gluing the button hole to the
interconnect for extra support. All button
holes should be about 1.8” long. We do
not recommend thick piping for the button
hole as it may be too large to sit within the
interconnect
1.8”

buttonhole holds the

Adapter Cable
The adaptor cable is an accessory
to the LEL that allows the LEL to be
powered by any 2.4A output off the
shelf battery pack.
We recommend attaching the
adaptor cable to the jacket using a
pouch for POS (further explained on
pg. 14)

We always want the LEL to be as close to
the skin as possible. When assembling a
LEL enabled garment, ensure that the LEL is
placed just behind the garment lining.
