Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A glass plate module according to the present invention includes a glass plate, an electrically conductive layer laminated on the glass plate, at least one connection terminal fixed to the electrically conductive layer and made of an electrically conductive material, and lead-free solder for fixing the connection terminal to the electrically conductive layer. The connection terminal includes an installation portion that is fixed to the electrically conductive layer via the lead-free solder, a standing portion that extends from an end portion of the installation portion in a direction away from the glass plate, and a connection portion that is coupled to an end portion of the standing portion on the opposite side to the installation portion and extends in a direction away from the installation portion along a surface direction of the glass plate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A glass plate module comprising: a glass plate; an electrically conductive layer laminated on the glass plate; at least one connection terminal fixed to the electrically conductive layer and made of an electrically conductive material; and lead-free solder for fixing the connection terminal to the electrically conductive layer, wherein the connection terminal includes: a single installation portion that is fixed to the electrically conductive layer via the lead-free solder; a standing portion that extends from an end portion of the installation portion in a direction away from the glass plate; and a connection portion that is coupled to an end portion of the standing portion on the opposite side to the installation portion and extends in a direction away from the installation portion along a surface direction of the glass plate, the connection portion has a power supply portion to which a cable for supplying electric power to the electrically conductive layer is connected, the power supply portion being located at a position that is spaced apart from the installation portion in the surface direction of the glass plate, wherein the lead-free solder extends horizontally on the electrically conductive layer surface beyond the standing portion and an upper end of the lead-free solder extends on the standing portion, a length of the standing portion between a surface of the installation portion that faces the electrically conductive layer and a surface of the connection portion that faces the electrically conductive layer is 2 mm or more, and the standing portion stands at an angle of 80 degrees or more to the installation portion. 2. The glass plate module according to claim 1 , wherein the power supply portion includes a holding portion that holds the cable, the holding portion being located on a surface of the connection portion that faces the electrically conductive layer. 3. The glass plate module according to claim 2 , wherein the holding portion is configured to hold the cable by being crimped onto the cable. 4. The glass plate module according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the glass plate is from 2.2 mm to 5.1 mm. 5. The glass plate module according to claim 1 , wherein the single installation portion is plate-shaped, and the standing portion stands at an angle of 80 degrees or more to the installation portion.
