1. An interlayer composite comprising:
- a plastic sheet having a predetermined outer shape and a major surface;
a pair of bus bars wherein the bus bars are in a fixed spaced relationship with one another;
a lead connected to each of the bus bars wherein each of the bus bars and its associated lead are made of a metal foil and arranged to have a generally “
T”
shape with each of the bus bars defined as a first elongated member of the “
T”
secured on the major surface of the plastic sheet and each of the leads defined as a second elongated member of the “
T”
extending away from the first elongated member and extending beyond the periphery of the plastic sheet;
an adhesive layer securing the bus bars directly on the major surface of the plastic sheet in a fixed relationship to one another;
a protective sleeve over a portion of the second elongated member;
an air barrier between inner wall portions of the protective sleeve and the surface portions of the second elongated member within the sleeve, andan adhesive layer on an outer surface portion of the protective sleeve facing away from the major surface of the plastic sheet.

7. An interlayer composite comprising;
-
a plastic interlayer sheet having a predetermined outer shape and a major surface; a pair of bus bars, each of the bus bars comprising a first segment and at least one of the pair of bus bars comprising a second segment joined to the first segment of the at least one bus bar with a portion of the second segment extending beyond periphery of the sheet, each of the bus bars made of a metallic foil having a first major surface, an opposite second major surface, a first edge and an opposite second edge, and an adhesive layer securing the first major surface of the first segment of the bus bars directly on the major surface of the plastic sheet in a fixed relationship to one another wherein the second major surface and the first and second edges of at least one of the segments of the pair of bus bars are above the major surface of the plastic sheet; a sleeve mounted over the second segment of the at least one bus bar to maintain a portion of the second segment above and spaced from the major surface of the plastic sheet. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
