  • 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: 8932074
    Abstract: The invention relates to a contacting arrangement for conductors provided on flat structures, namely glass panes, the conductors having a contact point in their connecting section, wherein one end of a connecting cable or another connection device is electrically and mechanically connected with a pad including a conductive fleece or double-sided conductive adhesive tape, wherein the connecting cable configured in this way is introduced into an encasement block which is open at one side and which includes a frame which surrounds the fleece or the conductive adhesive tape and which is provided with adhesive, wherein the surface of the conductive fleece which is laterally defined by the frame is matched to the area of the contact point in order to provide a contact connection between the contact point and the fleece surface through an adhesive joint between the frame and the flat structure, wherein the frame with the encasement element closes off the contact point in sealing fashion towards the ambient and a por

  • 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.
