Patent ID: 8481857

Claim:
A connecting element for a windowpane, comprising: a conductive structure connected with the windowpane; a line connection leading away from the windowpane, to provide electrical contact to the windowpane; at least one electrically conductive layer or foil soldered to the conductive structure and to a soldering surface of the line connection, whereby electrical contact between the line connection and the windowpane is provided through an electrical path comprising the soldering surface, the at least one electrically conductive layer or foil, and the conductive structure; and at least one electrically insulating buffer layer configured to be located at least between the at least one electrically conductive layer or foil and an outer surface of the windowpane, the electrically insulating buffer layer being further configured to expose the at least one electrically conductive layer or foil to the soldering surface of the line connection.
