also: Hook and Loop fastener
Velcro is the brand name for fabric Hook and Loop fasteners. Conductive Velcro is highly conductive and good for making switches or connections that might need to be opened and closed.
It has been used in various projects:
Conductive Velcro Toggle Switch by AnaLou >> http://www.instructables.com/id/Conductive_Velcro_Toggle_Switch/
Conductive Hook and Loop switch on Syuzi Pakhchyan’s headband, see her Fashioning Technology book >> http://www.fashioningtechnology.com/
Adrian Freed at CNMAT came up with a cheap alternative to make your own conductive Velcro by simply putting some conductive thread in the hook side of the Velcro and then stitching some into the loop side.

What is the base material for the conductive velcro
from what i’ve seen, i would say that conductive velcro is regular velcro that has been silver coated. velcro is normally made of nylon or polyester.
Have you guys experimented with flexible magnetic strips? For example:

It’s much cheaper than conductive velcro, and could be used to much the same effect. I’m not sure if it is conductive or not, but that could easily be solved by wrapping it with aluminum or copper foil tape.
