On-Glass Soldered Connectors: From Concept to Installation

In modern vehicles, glass surfaces are no longer just protective barriers against weather. They have become functional surfaces that carry antennas for navigation, radio and connectivity, and heating elements that keep the glass clear in winter and damp conditions.

On-Glass Soldered Connectors: From Concept to Installation

Reliable electrical connections on these glass surfaces are therefore critical for both safety and comfort.

At Cablex, we specialize in custom on-glass antenna and heating connectors for the automotive industry.

Every application brings its own combination of requirements – signal integrity, heating performance, mechanical robustness and long-term resistance to temperature changes, vibration and moisture.

 

We work closely with the customer from the earliest concept stage.

Together, we specify the appropriate connector technology, soldering process and protective design so that the connection remains stable throughout the life of the vehicle.

 

Early involvement enables us to identify potential risks before they become costly issues later in the project.

Prototypes are produced and validated under realistic automotive conditions.

Only after successful testing do we move into series production.

This structured approach reduces surprises and helps keep development timelines under control.

 

Because we also handle related assembly processess, we can deliver more than a single connector.

Customers often receive a ready-to-install solution that already integrates the on-glass connection with the necessary wiring and mechanical interfaces.

 

This simplifies their production line and improves overall process reliability.

Custom on-glass antenna and heating solutions require precise engineering and close cooperation.

That is exactly how we approach every project at Cablex – from the first design discussion all the way to parts ready for installation.
