Abstract

A method for producing a pane with an electrically conductive coating and a metallic strip soldered thereon is described. The method includes providing a substrate with an electrically conductive coating, providing a metallic strip with at least one through-hole, positioning the metallic strip on the electrically conductive coating, wherein the hole is arranged on the electrically conductive coating, and soldering the metallic strip to the electrically conductive coating via a soldering compound using an ultrasonic soldering tip.

Claims (18)

1. A method for producing a pane with an electrically conductive coating and a metallic strip soldered thereon, comprising:

(a) providing a substrate with an electrically conductive coating,

(b) providing a metallic strip with at least one through hole,

(c) positioning the metallic strip on the electrically conductive coating, wherein the at least one through hole is placed on the electrically conductive coating, and

(d) soldering the metallic strip to the electrically conductive coating via a soldering compound and using an ultrasonic soldering tip,

wherein the metallic strip is provided with an adhesive placed directly on bottom, the adhesive surrounding the at least one through hole and the soldering compound.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the ultrasonic soldering tip is brought into contact with a top of the metallic strip and is moved over the hole and the metallic strip surrounding the hole.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the soldering compound is melted by heat generated during soldering.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the soldering compound is provided in step (b) and the soldering compound is placed on one of i) bottom, ii) top, or iii) bottom and top of the metallic strip.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive is a double-sided adhesive tape.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the metallic strip is a flat conductor, extending from the electrically conductive coating to beyond a side edge of the substrate.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the hole has shape of a slit.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the electrically conductive coating comprises a printed-on conductive paste.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the conductive paste comprises silver particles and glass frits.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the metallic strip has a thickness of 10 μm to 500 μm.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the metallic strip has a thickness of 30 μm to 200 μm and comprises copper or silver.

12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate comprises glass.

13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the glass is a soda lime glass.
