Derartige Leitungsverbindungen umfassen beispielsweise einen Übergang von einem Flachbandleiter zu einem elektrischen Kabel. Solche Leitungsverbindungen kommen beispielsweise bei Verbundscheiben zum Einsatz, die in Kraftfahrzeugen genutzt werden. Electrical line connections according to the features of the preamble of claim 1 belong to the prior art. Such line connections include, for example, a transition from a ribbon conductor to an electrical cable. Such line connections are used, for example, in composite panes, which are used in motor vehicles.
Verbundscheiben bestehen aus zwei starren Glasscheiben und eine diese adhäsiv verbindende Klebefolie oder Kleberschicht. In solche Verbundscheiben können elektrische Bauelemente, z.B. in Form von Antennenleitern, Heizleitern oder dergleichen eingebracht sein. Zum Anschluss dieser elektrischen Composite disks consist of two rigid glass panes and an adhesive film or adhesive layer adhesively bonding them. In such composite disks, electrical components, e.g. be introduced in the form of antenna conductors, heating conductors or the like. To connect this electrical
Bauelemente sind die vorstehend erwähnten Leitungsverbindungen notwendig. Components are the above-mentioned line connections necessary.
Bezüglich der Verbindung des Innenraums des Scheibenverbunds mit dem Außenraum können Flachleitungen eingesetzt werden, die aus einer Trägerfolie mit metallischer Beschichtung bestehen. Ein solches zwei- oder mehrlagiges Laminat ist ausreichend dünn, um in den Verbundzwischenraum eingefügt werden zu können. With regard to the connection of the interior of the laminated pane to the outer space, flat cables can be used, which consist of a carrier foil with a metallic coating. Such a two-layered or multi-layered laminate is sufficiently thin to be able to be inserted into the composite interspace.
Derartige Flachleitungen werden üblicherweise außenanschlussseitig mit dem eigentlichen elektrischen Anschlusskabel verbunden, insbesondere verlötet. Die Verbindungsstelle gilt es nunmehr vor Feuchtigkeit oder sonstigen klimatischen Einflüssen zu schützen, so dass ein sicherer Betrieb der angeschlossenen elektrischen Bauelemente erfolgen kann. Such flat cables are usually connected to the external connection side with the actual electrical connection cable, in particular soldered. The junction is now protected from moisture or other climatic influences, so that safe operation of the connected electrical components can be done.
Diesbezüglich ist aus der EP 1 619759 Bl eine elektrische Leitungsverbindung mit Querschnittsübergang sowie ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer solchen Verbindung vorbekannt. In this regard, EP 1 619 759 B1 discloses an electrical line connection with a cross-sectional transition and a method for producing such a connection.
Gemäß der Lehre nach EP 1 619759 Bl wurde festgestellt, dass übliche Kunststoff-Schutzkörper auch bei unterschiedlicher Ausbildung in Form und Material keine ausreichende Sicherung der Verbindungsstelle bei der Lötung ermöglichen. Aus diesem Grund wurde dazu übergegangen, die eigentliche elektrische Lötverbindung mit einer weicheren Isolier- und Dichtmasse zu umgeben. Auch dies führte zu Problemen, insbesondere bei höheren According to the teaching of EP 1 619 759 B1, it has been found that conventional plastic protective bodies do not allow sufficient securing of the connection point during soldering, even with different designs in shape and material. For this reason, it was decided to surround the actual electrical solder joint with a softer insulating and sealing compound. This also led to problems, especially at higher levels

Weiterhin zeigt die Lehre nach EP 1 619759 Bl die Möglichkeit auf, nur einen im Verhältnis zur Gesamtbreite des Flachleiters kleinen Bereich mit einer dauerelastischen Isoliermasse abzudecken oder zu umhüllen. Nach dem Furthermore, the teaching of EP 1 619 759 B1 shows the possibility of covering or enveloping only a small area in relation to the overall width of the flat conductor with a permanently elastic insulating compound. After this
Aufbringen dieser vorzugsweise durchsichtigen Isoliermasse in einer ersten Verfahrensstufe soll eine ausreichende Abdichtung gegen das Eindringen von Flüssigkeit oder Nässe geschaffen sein, die das Auftreten von Kurzschlüssen und Korrosionsschäden ausschließt. Trotzdem war es erforderlich, aufgrund der mechanischen und thermischen Beanspruchungen während der weiteren Verarbeitung und auch bezüglich der Montage einer entsprechenden Scheibe mit Anschlusselementen in eine Fahrzeugkarosserie den Schutzkörper auszubilden, da die Isoliermasse allein nicht oder nur wenig mechanisch und thermisch belastbar ist. Applying this preferably transparent insulating in a first stage of the process should be created a sufficient seal against the ingress of liquid or moisture, which precludes the occurrence of short circuits and corrosion damage. Nevertheless, it was necessary to form the protective body due to the mechanical and thermal stresses during further processing and also with respect to the installation of a corresponding disc with connecting elements in a vehicle body, since the insulating material alone is not or only slightly mechanically and thermally stable.
Diesbezüglich wird der Schutzkörper in einer zweiten Stufe des Verfahrens durch An- oder Umspritzen des Verbindungsbereichs und der zuvor In this regard, the protective body in a second stage of the process by or by injection molding of the connection region and the previously
aufgebrachten Isoliermasse mit einer geeigneten Kunststoffmasse hergestellt. Damit ist die Isoliermasse im Endzustand innerhalb des Schutzkörpers vollständig eingebettet, so dass das Risiko einer Undichtigkeit minimiert ist. Die Außenkontur der Isoliermasse bildet somit eine gemeinsame Körper- oder Grenzfläche mit dem darüber befindlichen Schutzkörper. Mit anderen Worten stellt sich die aufzubringende Isolier- und Dichtmasse mit dauerelastischen Eigenschaften als ein Vorverguss dar, der notwendig ist, um die Verbindungs-Lötstelle abzudichten. Dieser Vorverguss bildet mit der Folien- Laminat-Anordnung eine bessere Vernetzung und kann auch bei klimatischen Wechselbelastungen für den gewünschten Schutz der Lötstelle sorgen. Da aber der Vorverguss nicht für den Einsatz bei höheren Temperaturen geeignet ist, muss dieser noch mit einem Endverguss umspritzt werden, so dass der eigentliche Schutzkörper entsteht. applied insulating prepared with a suitable plastic compound. Thus, the insulating material is completely embedded in the final state within the protective body, so that the risk of leakage is minimized. The outer contour of the insulating material thus forms a common body or interface with the overlying protective body. In other words, the applied insulating and sealing compound with permanently elastic properties presents as a pre-potting, which is necessary to seal the joint solder joint. This pre-potting forms with the film laminate arrangement better networking and can provide the desired protection of the solder joint even in climatic alternating loads. But since the pre-potting is not suitable for use at higher temperatures, it must still be encapsulated with a Endverguss, so that the actual protective body is formed.
Es ist für den Fachmann ohne weiteres ersichtlich, dass das Ausbilden eines Vorvergusses zur Ausbildung einer dauerelastischen Isolier- und Dichtschicht mit anschließendem zweiten Verguss zum Erhalt des Schutzkörpers sowohl von den Materialkosten als auch herstel lu ngsseitig höhere Aufwendungen nach sich zieht, die es nach Möglichkeit zu vermeiden gilt. It is readily apparent to those skilled in the art that the formation of a pre-potting to form a permanently elastic insulating and sealing layer followed by a second potting to obtain the protective body from both the cost of materials and manufel lu ngsseitig higher expenses entails, if possible to avoid applies.

Verkapselung, ausgebildet als Kunststoffumspritzung, und zwar mindestens im Bereich der elektrischen Kontaktierungsstelle von Kabel und flächigem Leiter oder Leiterabschnitt. Es liegt im Sinne der Erfindung, dass die Kunststoffumspritzung auch eine größere räumliche Ausdehnung aufweisen kann und darüber hinaus Mittel zum Befestigen besitzt. Encapsulation, formed as a plastic extrusion, at least in the region of the electrical contact point of cable and flat conductor or conductor section. It is within the meaning of the invention that the plastic extrusion can also have a greater spatial extent and moreover has means for fastening.
Erfindungsgemäß wird für die Realisierung der elektrischen Verbindungsanordnung zunächst im Bereich der Trägerfolie unter Freilassen des Raumes für die eigentliche elektrische Kontaktierungsstelle, diese jedoch umgebend oder flächig abgrenzend, ein haftvermittelnder, hitzeaktivierbarer Klebstofffilm aufgebracht. According to the invention, an adhesion-promoting, heat-activatable adhesive film is initially applied in the region of the carrier film in the area of the carrier film, leaving the space for the actual electrical contacting point, but surrounding or delimiting it, for the realization of the electrical connection arrangement.

Darüber hinaus kann die Klebstofffolie mindestens einseitig mit einem sogenannten Liner, d.h. einer abziehbaren Abdeckung versehen sein. In particular embodiments, the adhesive film can consist of a nonwoven material impregnated with adhesive and / or coated. In addition, the adhesive film may be laminated on at least one side with a so-called liner, i. be provided a peelable cover.
Dieser Liner kann dann gleichzeitig quasi als Lötstoppmaske dienen, da der Liner wie auch der Klebstofffilm gemäß obiger Erläuterungen die Kontak- tierungsstelle selbst frei lässt, diese jedoch seitlich, d.h. lateral umgibt.

Die Erfindung soll nachstehend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels sowie unter Zuhilfenahme der Fig. 1 bis 4 dargestellt werden, welche den prinzipiellen technologischen Prozess der Herstellung der elektrischen Verbindung und Ausbildung der erforderlichen Abdichtung illustrieren. Ausgehend von der Trägerfolie 1 weist der laminierte flächige Leiter oder Leiterabschnitt 4 ein zur Scheibe (nicht gezeigt) weisendes Ende 2 sowie ein Kontaktierungsende 3 auf (Fig. 1). The invention will be illustrated below with reference to an embodiment and with the aid of FIGS. 1 to 4, which illustrate the basic technological process of making the electrical connection and forming the required seal. Starting from the carrier film 1, the laminated planar conductor or conductor section 4 has an end 2 facing the disk (not shown) and also a contacting end 3 (FIG. 1).
Im Bereich des Kontaktierungsendes 3 ist ein Leiterabschnitt freigelegt, der die Kontaktstelle 4 zum Anschluss eines Kabels 5 bildet. In the region of the contacting end 3, a conductor section is exposed, which forms the contact point 4 for connecting a cable 5.
In der folgenden Darstellung nach Fig. 2, die dem nächsten technologischen Schritt entspricht, wird die Klebefolie 6 in einem Flächenbereich aufgebracht, der im Wesentlichen der Ausbildung der späteren Kunststoffumspritzung 7 entspricht.

Alternativ kann die Klebefolie 6 die Kontaktierungsstelle 4 auch lediglich zu einer Seite flächig abgrenzen. It can be seen from FIG. 2 that the electrical contacting point 4 is left free from the adhesive film 6, but laterally surrounds the contacting point 4. Alternatively, the adhesive film 6 can also demarcate the contacting point 4 only to one side.
Nachdem die Klebefolie aufgebracht wurde, wird eine Lötverbindung 8 im Bereich der Kontaktierungsstelle 4 ausgeführt, so dass das Kabel 5 mit dem entsprechenden Abschnitt 4 elektrisch verbunden ist (Fig. 3). After the adhesive film has been applied, a solder joint 8 is carried out in the region of the contacting point 4, so that the cable 5 is electrically connected to the corresponding section 4 (FIG. 3).
Nächstfolgend erfolgt ein Abziehen des Liners, der sich noch auf der Klebefolie 6 befindet. Next follows a peeling off of the liner, which is still on the adhesive film 6.
Im Anschluss wird ein Umspritzen der Verbindungsanordnung mittels Subsequently, an encapsulation of the connection arrangement by means of
Kunststoffumspritzung 7 vorgenommen, wobei der Druck- und Temperatureintrag für das Realisieren der Kunststoffumspritzung gleichzeitig den Plastic injection 7 made, wherein the pressure and temperature entry for the realization of the plastic extrusion at the same time
Klebstofffilm der Klebefolie aktiviert, so dass eine hochdichte und beständige Verbindung entsteht. Die Kunststoffumspritzung 7 kann noch Ausnehmungen 9 zum Befestigen aufweisen (Fig. 4). Adhesive film of the adhesive film activated, so that a high-density and durable connection is formed. The plastic extrusion 7 may also have recesses 9 for fastening (FIG. 4).
Bei der eingesetzten Klebefolie handelt es sich beispielsweise um eine Folie mit einem doppelseitig klebenden, hitzeaktivierbaren Klebstofffilm, wobei der Klebstoff bereits leicht selbstklebend ist und unter Hitze und Druck aushärtet. Eine Schutzabdeckung, vorstehend als Liner bezeichnet, kann z.B. aus einer Papierschicht, die silikonisiert ist, bestehen. Härtetemperaturen eines derartigen Klebstofffilm, z.B. des Produkts 3M 582, liegen im Bereich um 230° C bei einem Anpressdruck von 34 N/cm2 und einer Härtezeit von ca. 2 Minuten. Diese Werte entsprechen der Verarbeitungstemperatur der vorzugsweise einzusetzenden Kunststoffspritzmasse. Alternativ können Acrylatkleber für die Kleberschicht, aber auch spezielle Haftvermittler hinsichtlich Vernetzung Polimidfolie und Umspritzungsschicht zum Einsatz kommen. The adhesive film used is, for example, a film with a double-sided adhesive, heat-activatable adhesive film, wherein the adhesive is already slightly self-adhesive and cures under heat and pressure. A protective cover, referred to above as a liner, may for example consist of a paper layer which is siliconized. Curing temperatures of such an adhesive film, such as the product 3M 582, are in the range of 230 ° C at a contact pressure of 34 N / cm 2 and a curing time of about 2 minutes. These values correspond to the processing temperature of the preferably used plastic injection molding compound. Alternatively, acrylate adhesives can be used for the adhesive layer, but also special adhesion promoters with regard to crosslinking of polyimide film and encapsulation layer.
