Hello Sparkfun,

I have purchased 2 types of conductive thread and I am not familar w/ Ohms to be sure which one is more conductive…

Conductive Thread - 234/34 4ply (sku: DEV-08549) 14 Ohms per foot.

Conductive Thread - 117/17 2ply (sku: DEV-08544) 82 Ohms per foot.

Kindly advise.

Thank you.

Sorry, I don’t understand, so which thread has better conductivity… the 14 Ohms or the 82 Ohms?

Conductance is the reciprocal of resistance.
