Glass plate module
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.
1 . 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.
