METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SOLDERING CONNECTIONS USING INDUCTIVE HEATING

Abstract In a method for soldering a plurality of electrical connections, in which contact elements (15, 16) have to be soldered to soldered-connection faces (6, 7, 8) positioned on non-metallic glazing (1), in which method a soldering tool (13) is used to emit a magnetic field towards the solder spots so as to heat these by induction, according to the invention, the magnitude and the shape of the soldering tool (13) is sized according to the surface area over which several solder spots that have to be heated simultaneously in a soldering operation are situated. At the same time, the frequency of the AC voltage applied to the loop or to the coil is tailored to the connection geometry and set to 150 kHz at most. Thus, for a high work rate, markedly better heating of the components that need to be soldered is obtained because the low-frequency field lines have a greater depth of penetration into the bodies. A device particularly suited to implementing the method is also described.
Full Text Method and device for soldering connections using
inductive heating
The invention relates to a method for soldering
connections by inductive heating exhibiting the
features of the preamble of Claim 1, and to a
particularly suitable device for implementing this
method.
Document GB-1 183 316 discloses methods for the
inductive soldering of heating wires placed in parallel
with their collector conductors. In the first
embodiment, the heating wires are fixed by bonding onto
a glazing surface and the collector conductor - a thin
strip of tinned copper - is positioned over the top.
The soldering tool is guided over the same surface of
the glazing with a constant stand-off distance along
the collector conductor using spacer rollers. In the
second embodiment, the heating wires and the collector
conductors are inaccessible from the outside in a
laminated glazing unit made up of two sheets of glazing
and an adhesive layer. Here, electrical contact between
the heating conductors and their collector conductors
is to be made only after the laminated glazing unit has
been produced. To achieve this, use is made of the
ability of a magnetic field to transmit, without
contact, through one of the sheets of glazing, the
energy required to melt the solder; this sheet of
glazing in this instance acts as the "spacer" for the
hand-guided soldering tool.
It is known that such glazing is used especially in
motor vehicle manufacture, but also in buildings. Other
typical applications are, for example, the soldering of
contact bases for connection lines. These are becoming
increasingly small in order to save space in motor
vehicle manufacturing and are often also provided with
cable connections, which may prove awkward when
soldering tools are being applied directly (see

- 2 -
EP 477 069 Bl). Likewise, electronic components such as
amplifiers or the like are already soldered directly to
antenna conducting fields printed onto an external
surface of the glazing.
For technical reasons associated with manufacture and
in order to be able to connect a plurality of
connections towards the outside using a common multiple
cable, several soldered assemblies or solder spots are
usually positioned very close together (see
DE 195 36 131 C2) . Using conventional soldering tools,
these assemblies or spots do, however, have to be
soldered one after another individually.
However, applying soldering irons directly to the
connection components concerned from the open "front
face" is often a disadvantage, especially when - and
above all in industrial-scale production with short
pass times - incorrect positioning can occur as a
result of the inevitable action of forces.
In the case of induction soldering, apparatus
manufacturers do, however, typically recommend a high
frequency of between 700 and 900 kHz depending on the
thermal power to be applied. At the same time, the
electrical power requirement is only relatively low (1
to 4 kW).
Tests carried out under the conditions of the possible
applications discussed above with the recommended
relatively high frequencies have not, however, made it
possible to obtain satisfactory results. In particular,
the conducting structures that act as
soldered-connection faces on the surface of the
glazing, which are made up of a thick baked-on layer of
screen printing paste with a relatively high silver
content, may heat up excessively and dissipate a great
deal of heat while at the same time the components that
are to be soldered have not yet become sufficiently

- 3 -
hot. One cause could be that the conducting structure,
or its material, has high absorption with respect to
the waves generated by induction. The heating effect
obtained by using high frequencies then either does not
penetrate deep within a voluminous body or does so
extremely slowly, but rather remains at the surface
thereof (something also called the "skin effect", see,
in this respect, DE 694 30 275 T2, page 36) . In
consequence, the short pass times do not allow the
required depth of penetration to the other face of the
thick layer concerned to be achieved with any
certainty.
Document DE 196 36 216 Al describes a device and a
method for the induction heating of components,
particularly for hardening and soldering, in which an
induction loop or coil is combined with a conducting
body to deflect or orientate the magnetic field. The
loop/coil is made up of a tubular material that is a
good conductor of electricity, which is cooled during
the soldering operation by a circulating cooling fluid.
The operating or frequency range recommended for
heating metals by induction is from 10 kHz to 10 MHz.
In that document, however, just one application to the
hardening of the edges of bored holes is described in
detail. The conducting body mentioned forms a core that
can be introduced into the respective bore. The
document gives no other information as to the
production of installations or methods for soldering
using inductive heating.
The problem underlying the invention is to afford an
improved method for the inductive soldering of
connections to glazing units and a device particularly
suited to implementing this method.
This problem is solved according to the invention by
the features of Claim 1 as far as the method is
concerned and by the features of Claim 12 as far as the

- 4 -
device is concerned. The features of the secondary
claims dependent on the respective independent claims
set out advantageous embodiments of the invention.
The magnitude and shape of the surface area of an
induction loop or coil positioned in a soldering tool
is consequently tailored to suit the magnitude and
shape, respectively, of the respective multiple contact
regions. This surface area may be very small, but as a
general rule is several square centimetres in size. For
example, it measures 0.5 to 70 cm2 and may be larger
still.
These tools may be applied to the surface of the
glazing concerned on the opposite side to the soldering
face. The magnetic field emitted by these tools passes
through the material of the glazing with practically no
attenuation, which means that the soldering heat
required is released only from the back side of the
glazing. Even any opaque (non-conducting) local coating
at the edge of the surface of the glazing is penetrated
by the magnetic field with practically no attenuation.
At the same time, the smooth surface of the glazing
forms an ideal bearing surface for the tool, and even
the distance at which it lies from the actual solder
spot is kept practically constant from one sheet of
glazing to another by the glazing and layer thickness
that is reproducible with negligible discrepancies.
However, it is not strictly necessary to position the
soldering tools on the face of the glazing situated
facing the solder spots if the fixing of the necessary
distance can be respected using other means. Likewise,
it is possible to apply the soldering tools directly to
the components that are to be soldered.
This technique can be employed with simple glazing and
with laminated glazing.
In mass production, the tools may therefore

- 5 -
advantageously be mounted in a fixed position in
soldering devices or soldering stations, in which the
glazing prepared for the making of the soldered
connections is introduced and positioned. Keeping the
tools stationary has the additional advantage that the
necessary supply ducting does not need to be moved.
By moving away from the recommendations of the
apparatus manufacturers, the frequency of the induced
waves, and respectively of the magnetic field, were
markedly reduced, for experimental purposes, to a range
ranging between 5 and 150 kHz. The magnetic field
penetration depth in the applications described is
thereby markedly greater. However, it is necessary to
use more electrical power because relatively
low-frequency radiation suffers from relatively high
transmission losses in the stand-off gap and within the
body of the glazing. It is also necessary to work with
a higher magnetic field strength at low frequency.
In the light of the markedly improved soldering results
which have a favourable knock-on effect on mass
production, this aspect does, however, need to be taken
into consideration. At the same time, a marked
speeding-up of production is achieved because, even for
very short pass times, all the nearby solder spots even
in relatively extensive soldered-connection fields are
soldered at the same time and with good process
reliability. Using the relatively small high-frequency
soldering tools, a relative movement between the tool
and the respective glazing would also be needed. It has
proved to be favourable, in the context of the present
invention, for the loops or coils for induction
soldering at relatively low frequencies to have
markedly greater volumes than the loops or coils used
for high-frequency induction.
Appropriate large-sized loops or coils have been used
to make various experimental soldered connections which

- 6 -
have all led to satisfactory results. Thus, for
example, a five-pole antenna connection, four
individual antenna connections in the form of press
studs, and two heating conductor connections in
addition to two antenna connections, have been soldered
to typical glazing equipped differently, all of this
having been done in the region of an opaque edge
coating of the glazing with electrically conductive
tracks printed thereon. As a result of the good
penetration of the field lines into these conducting
structures for low induction frequency the bodies or
the (metal) contacts of the contact elements have been
heated sufficiently and quickly enough by the magnetic
field to melt their pre-tinning and assemble them
reliably with the connection faces on the side of the
glazing.
The soldering tools also experience practically no
wear. The holding tools for positioning the components
for soldering may be produced more simply and in a more
compact form without soldering tools.
During the soldering operation, the components to be
connected are pressed only freely against the surface
of the glazing using simple clamping means, which are
not themselves heated by the magnetic field. These
tools may for example by made of plastic or ceramic or
both, or may be lined with non-metallic parts in the
regions where they come into contact with the
components that are to be soldered. In order locally to
optimize and deflect the magnetic field it is also
possible to use clamping means made of ferrite
materials.
Soldering from the "rear face" of a sheet of glazing
(which in a vehicle is usually the exterior face) and
the resulting direct application of heat yield the
additional major structural advantage, namely that more
complicated structural elements can be soldered.

- 7 -
In particular, with the exception of the actual solder
spot, the components to be connected do not need to
exhibit any free metal surface but may, for example, be
entirely coated or overmoulded in plastic, and if
appropriate may even contain components positioned in a
second plane immediately above the contact points (see
DE 198 56 663 C2) . Such components may be used with no
special protection in their assembly environment. A
visual inspection of the soldered joint can also of
course be carried out at the solder spot itself, for
example using "inspection holes" (see
DE 102 49 992 Cl) .
Naturally, the shape of the loop or of the coil, or of
the tool which contains it, must be tailored to suit
the respective particulars, in material terms, to suit
the envisaged connection geometries (surface areas and
shapes of the components in the region of the
soldered-connection faces) so that the magnetic field
lines can be orientated optimally on the components for
heating. It is particularly advantageous to have
ferrite elements in the tool in order to optimize the
pattern of the field lines. In order to tailor it to
suit curved glazing surfaces, corresponding preforming
and/or an elastic intermediate layer on the contact
face of the tool may prove advantageous.
Other details and advantages of the solution according
to the invention will become apparent from the attached
drawings of examples of possible applications and from
the detailed descriptions thereof.
In these schematic depictions which are not drawn to
scale:
Fig. 1 depicts a view of a piece of glazing with
connections for soldering, which is placed in a
device for the inductive soldering of these
connections for soldering; and

- 8 -
Fig. 2 shows an enlarged detail of Fig. 1 in the
region of a multiple soldered-connection point.
Fig. 1 shows a trapezoidal sheet of glazing 1 made of
glass or plastic, of which the top surface, in the
direction of viewing, is provided along its edge with
an opaque coating 2 (here shaded grey but in actual
fact generally black), which is electrically
non-conducting. This is, for example, the rear window
of a motor vehicle, depicted here without curvature for
reasons of simplicity. On its surface it is also
provided with electrically conducting tracks or
structures 3, for example heating conductors and
antenna conductors, which extend through the field of
view of the window and/or the side of the edge as far
as the coating 2. Along the left-hand edge of the sheet
of glazing 1 there are collector conductors 4 and 5 on
the surface of the coating 2. Furthermore, several
connection faces 6, 7, 8 (shown in paler grey in the
illustration) intended for the electrical connection of
the conducting structures 3 or of the collector
conductors, and to which we will return in greater
detail later on, are also provided.
Shown on the right-hand edge of the sheet of glazing is
a reversed identical configuration of collector
conductors and connection faces without the
corresponding numerical references. The configurations
of the collector conductors and of the connection faces
may in actual fact differ from one side of the sheet of
glazing to the other. The connection faces and the
solder spots may also be positioned along the long
sides of the shape of glazing shown here.
The configuration of the heating and antenna conducting
structures 3 in the central field of vision of the
sheet of glazing 1 is not depicted further. For the
purposes of the present description this is of no
importance because the description relates only to the

- 9 -
making of the edge electrical connections of the
conducting structures 3 by soldering with the heat
produced by induction.
The conducting structures 3 are usually produced, as
are the collector conductors 4, 5 and the connection
faces 6, 7, 8 by printing (screen printing) a
conducting printing paste (containing silver) using the
thick layer technique with subsequent baking (on glass
glazing, preferably at the time of bending).
The glazing 1 is placed in a device 10 indicated by a
box, to which belong, amongst other things, the stops
11, the supports 12 and the soldering tools 13. Whereas
the stops 11 are pressed against the lateral edges of
the glazing 1 in order to position it in the plane, the
supports 12 and the soldering tools 13 lie, in the
direction of view, behind/under the glazing 1. It can
be seen that the soldering tools 13 fixed in the device
entirely cover the regions of the connection faces, in
vertical projection onto the surface of the glazing.
Their surface area facing towards the glazing measures
several square centimetres.
The connection faces 6, 7 and 8 have to be connected to
the outside of the glazing to electrical supply or
connection lines corresponding to their function, or to
antenna cables, respectively, these not having been
depicted in Fig. 1.
A ring labelled "II" on the left-hand edge of the sheet
of glazing 1 surrounds the region depicted in enlarged
detail in Fig. 2, in order to explain in detail the
method according to the invention and the corresponding
device. The region encircled is also denoted
hereinafter as the connection field. This in total has
a defined surface area to which the associated
soldering tool is tailored.

- 10 -
The connection field covered by an individual soldering
tool could if need be be larger still. Likewise, an
individual soldering tool may comprise two or more
terms. This would be recommended if solder spots are to
be produced on flat or only slightly curved or
cylindrically curved glazing.
Fig. 2 shows a side view of the edge region of the
glazing 1 laid out flat, viewed from the left side of
Fig. 1. For elements that are identical, the same
numerical references as were used in Fig. 1 have been
kept. Although admittedly a flat sheet of glazing 1 has
been depicted, the invention can naturally be applied
also to curved glazing.
Visible on the opaque coating 2 are the two connection
faces 7 and the four connection faces 8 of the
connection field in the circle II of Fig. 1. On the
twin connection faces 7, the two soldering shoes 14 of
a bridge-shaped contact element 15 provided with a
connecting cable have been applied. Such contact
elements with a soldered flexible lead are known in the
prior art (for example from EP 0 477 069 Bl) . They are
often used for the electrical connection of heating
fields to the on-board power supply of a vehicle.
Specifically, such components are critical to
subsequent soldering because the soldering of the lead
must not be heated excessively. Such excessive heating
can be avoided reliably using the method according to
the invention.
Applied to the four connection faces 8 is a multiple
contact element 16 also known per se which comprises
four metal contacts 17 each of which has to be soldered
to one of the connection faces 8. Likewise, the
multiple contact element 16 is connected by a
connecting cable. The latter may, for example, be an
antenna cable, if appropriate in a diversity antenna
environment.

- 11 -
The multiple contact element 16 exhibits a sheath,
preferably made of an appropriate plastic (which is
electrically insulating) in which its contacts 17 with
its line connections to the connection cable are
embedded. Free metal surfaces on the face of the
multiple contact element situated opposite the glazing
1 are not required. Other electrical and/or electronic
components (for example amplifiers) may also be located
inside the sheath.
Each of the six solder spots shown in Fig. 2 is
provided with a thin layer of solder 9 containing lead
or free of lead (pre-tinned or bearing a deposit of
solder), if appropriate with a flux incorporated or
applied subsequently. It might be enough to apply a
deposit of solder to just one of the two faces that are
to be soldered, thus either to the connection faces 7,
8 or to the solder shoes 14 or contacts 17, if it can
be guaranteed that the energy injected will be able to
heat all the components enough to solder both sides
firmly and if the non-tinned surface can be wetted with
the solder.
The thicknesses of the coating 2, of the connection
faces 7 and 8 and of the deposit of solder are not
shown to scale here.
Chain line has been used to indicate clamping means 18,
19 which each position and press the contact sole 14
and the multiple contact element 16 on(to) the contact
or solder spots. These do not need to have galvanic
contact with the solder spots. These clamping means
may, for example and advantageously, at the same time
be remote-controlled holding and positioning tools in
an automated production line. This dual function is
indicated by the slight overlap of the clamping means
with the contact elements illustrated. They pick up the
contact elements, initially loose, from the respective

- 12 -
stores, position them on the corresponding connection
faces and hold them in place during the soldering
operation until the solder hardens.
The soldering tool 13 is applied to the underside of
the glazing 1, situated on the opposite side to the
contact points 7 and 8, with (at least) one induction
loop or coil 131 which is powered from a commercially
available generator 13G with an AC voltage at
adjustable frequency and power. Symbolically, also
depicted is a switch 13S in the connection between the
generator and the coil, by means of which switch the
operation of the induction loop 131 can be controlled.
Finally, if need be, the tool 13 can be cooled by
connecting hoses 13C. In contrast with the schematic
depiction, the cooling fluid inlet and the electrical
power supply lines may be gathered together.
The soldering tools 13, which are large by comparison
with the conventional high-frequency induction loops or
coils, comprise coils or loops the sizes of which
correspond more or less to the length and width of the
soldering tool. Intermediate spaces may be filled in a
way known per se using ferrite bodies or bodies made of
other equally suitable materials. In this way, the
magnetic field that they emit can be optimized in such
a way that it is deflected and that it acts as
intensively and as concertedly as possible on the
solder spots. It is therefore possible not so much to
obtain great homogeneity as rather to heat as quickly
and as intensively as possible determined or small-area
spots - namely the solder spots and the metal contact
elements applied to them.
Similarly, it may also be advantageous for the clamping
means also to be equipped with ferrite elements or
components having the same functions in order to shape
and guide the field lines. This option, just like the
soldering tool itself, needs to be individually

- 13 -
tailored to the respective connection field and to its
solder spots.
In order constantly to achieve high soldering quality,
it is important for the distance between the soldering
tool 13 and the solder spots to be kept as constant as
possible on each glazing sheet. In the exemplary
embodiment illustrated here, the soldering tool is
therefore applied directly to the surface of the
glazing. Naturally, any damage to the smooth surface of
the glazing must be prevented. Here it is possible
according to the invention to provide a very small
well-defined stand-off between the soldering tool and
the underside of the glazing, in order to completely
avoid any contact.
Thus, if a tool with an induction coil is to be applied
to a surface of a curved sheet of glazing rather than
the flat glazing 1 shown here, it would need to be
tailored to suit the local contours of the glazing, in
the sense of precise reproducible positioning, or would
need to hug this surface, possibly by means of an
elastic intermediate layer.
As a preference, these soldering tools are positioned
fixedly/stationary in the device 10. The sheet of
glazing to be treated is brought in each time using
conveyor means not depicted and is positioned between
the stops 11 on the supports 12.
Of course, it is however also possible to apply
soldering tools that can move by means of robots into
reproducible positions on a sheet of glazing that is to
be treated. For example, this solution will be
preferred when it is not necessary to process large
numbers of components on glazing units that always
remain the same, or when a frequent change in model has
to be processed using the same device.

- 14 -
In order to produce soldered assemblies, the induction
loop 131 is supplied with current at the desired
frequency (between 5 and 100 kHz) by connecting its
electrical power supply (closing the switch 13S). A
typical power of the order of 1.3 to 15 kW is set,
although this may naturally be altered according to the
remoteness of the loop or of the coil, the (total)
surface area of the solder spots and the masses to be
heated. The magnetic field passes through the material
of the glazing a few millimetres thick and the opaque
edge coating 2 a few microns thick without excessive
attenuation; the smaller the stand-off, the lower the
attenuation. There is a release of heat in the metallic
components of the contact points 7, 8 and solder
deposits 9 and also in the metallic components (solder
legs 14, contacts 17) of the applied contact elements
15 and 16. The low frequency, in addition to the
advantage of allowing a relatively deep penetration,
exhibits the additional advantage that certain
components that are sensitive to electromagnetic waves
can also be soldered without destroying these
components.
The time for which the magnetic field needs to be in
action until the solder completely melts and the best
frequency range can be determined simply and repeatedly
by tests, and simulated using appropriate software.
After the soldering operation, the magnetic field is
switched off (the switch 13S is opened) . The glazing 1
is still held briefly, as are the clamping means 18,
19, until the solder has hardened and the electrical
connections hold firm without additional mechanical
fixing. Thereafter, the glazing 1 is transferred on to
the subsequent processing operations.

to 150 kHz at most.
Thus, for a high work rate, markedly better heating of
the components that need to be soldered is obtained
because the low-frequency field lines have a greater
depth of penetration into the bodies. A device
particularly suited to implementing the method is also
described.
