An electrical connector includes a first layer formed of a copper based material and a second layer formed of an iron-nickel alloy. The second layer has a thickness of 8% to 30% of the thickness of the electrical connector. The electrical connector also includes a third layer which is formed of a solder alloy that consists essentially of 17% to 28% indium by weight, 12% to 20% zinc by weight, 1% to 6% silver by weight, 1% to 3% copper by weight, and a remaining weight of the solder alloy that is tin.

Electrical connector

An electrical assembly includes an electrical connector soldered to a conductive pad disposed on a glass surface by a solder alloy consisting essentially of 17% to 28% indium by weight, 12% to 20% zinc by weight, 1% to 6% silver by weight, 1% to 3% copper by weight, and a remaining weight of the solder alloy being tin.

Lead-free solder composition

An electrical connector includes a first layer having a first coefficient of thermal expansion and a second layer overlaying the first layer having a second coefficient of thermal expansion. A first difference between the first coefficient of thermal expansion and a coefficient of thermal expansion of glass is greater than a second difference between the second coefficient of thermal expansion and the coefficient of thermal expansion of glass. The electrical connector further includes a layer of a solder alloy having about 15% to 28% indium by weight, about 5% to 20% zinc by weight, about 1% to 6% silver by weight, and at least 36% tin by weight. The solder layer is disposed on at least a portion of the second layer.
