Abstract

A heatable vehicle window (e.g., windshield or backlite) has bus bars electrically connected to a heatable coating having one or more heatable conductive layers. Electrical connection(s) between at least one bus bar and a corresponding external connector in the heatable window is/are made using a silver inclusive epoxy. The use of the silver inclusive epoxy permits a thin substantially uniform electrical connection to be made and permits numerous example advantages to be realized.
