ABSTRACT:
An improved electrical connector for use with a glazing is disclosed. The glazing preferably comprises a ply of glazing material having a first electrically conductive component mounted thereon, and a second electrically conductive component, joined to the first by a lead-free solder. The second component has a thickness t and comprises first and second connector feet linked by a bridge portion, the bridge portion being at a height h above each of the connector feet. T and/or h are chosen to minimise the occurrence of stress faults in the glass in the region of the solder. Preferably, the glazing is an automotive glazing.
