Abstract
A glass plate module according to the present invention includes: a glass body; an electrical conductor laminated on the glass body; at least one connection terminal fixed to the conductive layer, and formed of a conductive material; and a lead-free solder for fixing the connection terminal to the conductive layer, and the connection terminal includes a base portion, at least one installation portion coupled to the base portion, and fixed to the conductive layer via the lead-free solder, a power supply portion coupled to the base portion, and to be connected to a cable for supplying power to the conductive layer, and a connection portion that is disposed between the base portion and the power supply portion, and that connects the connection portion to the base portion in a bendable manner.
Claims15
A glass plate module comprising:
- a glass body;
- an electrical conductor laminated on the glass body;
- at least one connection terminal fixed to the electrical conductor, and formed of a conductive material;
- and
- a lead-free solder for fixing the connection terminal to the electrical conductor,
- wherein the connection terminal includes:
- a base portion;
- a pair of installation portions coupled to the base portion, and fixed to the electrical conductor via the lead-free solder;
- a power supply portion to be connected to a cable for supplying power to the electrical conductor;
- and
- a connection portion that is disposed between the base portion and the power supply portion, and that connects the power supply portion to the base portion in a bendable manner,
- the base portion includes a pair of standing portions standing from the installation portions, and a main body portion that extends in a horizontal first direction so as to connect the standing portions,
- the power supply portion is connected to the main body portion via the connection portion and extends in a horizontal second direction orthogonal to the horizontal first direction,
- the pair of installation portions are disposed on two sides of the power supply portion so as to sandwich the power supply portion,
- notches are formed in portions of the base portion that are connected to the connection portion,
- the power supply portion includes a supporting portion connected to the connection portion and a pair of extending portions extending from two sides of the supporting portion, and
- the extending portions are configured to fix the cable for supplying power by crimping the extending portions to the cable.
