Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical connection element to be brazed on a conductive layer disposed on a glazing, in particular an electrically heated automotive glazing, consisting of a flexible metal braid segment, of a plug mounted on one of the ends of the braid and a brazing connection piece mounted on its other end.
  • connection elements provided with a connection piece to be brazed and a plug-in tab are used in great number in heated rear windows for automobiles, in which the heating resistors are applied by screen printing on the surface of the glazing, in the form of a baking paste suitable for printing, then are baked at the bending or tempering temperature of the glazing.
  • the heating conductors When printing the heating conductors, the bus lines are printed at the same time and the electrical connection elements are soldered on these bus lines after cooking.
  • connection piece of the specified type comprising a flexible metal braid segment
  • connection piece to be brazed is formed by two heels of braid which are bent from the metal braid segment like the arms of a T.
  • the braid heels are each about 8 mm long and are preliminary filled with solder.
  • the object of the invention is to prepare an electrical connection element of the specified type, with a flexible braid segment, in such a way that it can be processed in an automatic brazing machine.
  • connection piece to be brazed is a piece of rigid sheet metal connected to the segment of flexible metallic braid.
  • connection pieces to be brazed from rigid sheet metal can be produced with high precision, in constant dimensions. Since these are rigid parts of constant shape, the shape of which also does not change when the braid segment is welded to this sheet metal part, the electrical connection elements according to the invention can be positioned and brazed easily on the glazing, using automatic brazing machines. Since, in addition, the connection pieces to be soldered have, in this case, defined planar soldering surfaces, the flow of the soldering tin during the soldering operation is limited to a constant surface, of so that soldering can be carried out without difficulty, even on relatively narrow bus bars.
  • the flexible metallic braid segment 1 consists for example of a woven copper ribbon of section transverse rectangular, about 6 mm wide and about 0.8 mm thick. At the end 3 of the metal braid segment 1 is welded a flat plug tab 2 on which, when connected to the electrical network, a connector for corresponding flat plug is slipped.
  • the end zone 4 of the metal braid segment 1 is connected to a piece of rigid sheet metal 5, for example by ultrasonic welding.
  • the sheet metal part 5 forms the heel to be brazed.
  • it may be a flat sheet segment, the width and length of which are adapted to the requirements encountered. For example, it may have a width B of approximately 4 mm and a length L of approximately 20 to 25 mm.
  • the middle part 6 of the sheet metal part 5 is bent and forms a connecting section in the form of a bridge between the two sections 7 of the heel to be brazed, which are brazed by their underside on the conductive layer provided on glass.
  • the bent middle part 6 of the sheet metal part 5 forms, in a known manner, a deformable bridge which reduces the thermal stresses resulting from the different thermal expansion of the glass and of the brazed sheet metal part.
  • an insulating sheath 8 made of an adequate plastic material is applied.
