Abstract
An electrical connector used to make electrical connection to a heating system or to an antenna system on a glazing comprises a substantially planar foot, suitable for soldering, an angled portion, permanently connected to the foot and substantially at right angles to the plane of the foot and a holding portion, connected to the angled portion and suitable for holding a cable, wherein the foot has a substantially circular or oval shape. A glazing comprising such an electrical connector further comprises a sheet of glazing material, an electrical conductor on a surface of the sheet of glazing material and a solder layer between the electrical conductor and the foot wherein the solder layer comprises lead-free solder. The angled portion may be a male portion of a button connector, also known as a snap connector. The holding portion may be a washer soldered or welded to the angled portion.
