    Abstract: An electrical connection arrangement between at least one flat conductor or conductor portion and a cable, the flat conductor or conductor portion leading to a pane, or laminated pane, with electric or electronic components, the cable being an integral part of an external connection. The flat conductor or conductor portion is further formed on a carrier film, or polyimide film, and includes an encapsulation as a plastic injection overmolding at least in an area of the electric contacting point of cable and flat conductor or conductor portion. An adhesion-promoting, heat-activated adhesive film is applied in the area of the carrier film while leaving space for the electrical contacting point, yet surrounding or two-dimensionally delimiting same, wherein, after forming the electrical connection at the contacting point, the plastic injection overmolding is performed and pressure and temperature input simultaneously activates the adhesive film to realize a highly dense and durable bonding.

  • Publication number: 20150028084
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for carrying out solder connections in a technologically optimized manner, in particular lead-free solder connections. At least one of the joining partners provides the solder required for the connection. A flux is used in order to activate the solder, and the electric and mechanical connection is carried out by means of a soldering process under the effect of heat and by melting the solder/flux mixture with the inclusion of a subsequent cooling phase. According to the invention, the joining partners and the solder are heated to a temperature below the activation temperature of the solder and the flux in a first temperature treatment phase. Another heating process is then carried out to a temperature above the activation temperature of the flux up to the upper melting range of the solder in a second temperature treatment phase, wherein the solder melts and begins to connect to the respective joining partners.

  • Patent number: 8905778
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a contacting assembly for conductors that are present on flat structures, in particular glass panels, and have a contact point in the connection section. According to the invention, an end of a connecting cable or of another connecting means, for example, a connecting plug, is connected electrically and mechanically to a pad made of a conductive nonwoven fabric. The connecting cable thus assembled is introduced into a casting block which is open on one side and which has a frame that is provided with adhesive and encloses the nonwoven fabric. The surface of the conductive nonwoven fabric which is delimited laterally by the frame is matched to the area of the contact point, in order to produce, via an adhesive bond between the frame and the flat structure, a contacting connection created by surface pressing between the contact point and the nonwoven fabric surface, wherein the frame together with the casting body seals the contact point with respect to the surrounding area.

  • Patent number: 8853533
    Abstract: The invention relates to a contact-making and connection arrangement on the basis of film conductors introduced in a housing, wherein ends of the film conductors have a contact-making section and at least partly lie one above another. According to the invention, a double-sided self-adhesive or adhesive-coated conductive nonwoven material is situated between the contact-making sections facing one another, said material mechanically and electrically connecting the ends of the film conductors. Furthermore, the housing is embodied such that it is divided in the plane of the film conductors that have been introduced or are to be introduced, wherein the housing parts form half-shells and, in at least one half-shell, stamp-like projections are provided which lead to a deformation of the contact-making layer in such a way that a reduction of the electrical contact resistance of the connection occurs.
