Brazing Alloys
For the brazing of contacts with a silver bottom layer to copper backings, phosphorous containing brazing alloys which eliminate the need for a flux application, are widely used.
The brazing alloy is typically introduced into the joint area in the form of wire segments, foil, shims or as powder or paste. For larger production volumes it is economically advantageous to pre-coat contact tips with a thin layer (≤ 100 µm) of brazing alloy.
