<p>A glazing (1) provided with an electric circuit (2) includes an electrically conducting substrate (4) and a terminal (5, 30) for making electrical connection thereto. The terminal is attached to the glazing by an adhesive (8), rather than solely by solder (21), and the electrical connection between the terminal and the substrate is provided by means other than, or additional to, physical contact between the terminal and the substrate. For instance, the adhesive may be electrically conducting, or a soldered joint may additionally be provided if the adhesive is electrically insulating, or of insufficient conductivity for the type of circuit in question. The adhesive may be pre-applied to the terminal, and may be a tack-free adhesive activated or cured by heat. The terminal may be in two parts (6, 7), with the base part (6) of a standardised design. The glazing is suitable for use in buildings, appliances or vehicles, especially automotive vehicles.</p> |
