Brazed contact assemblies offer the greatest latitude of contact material selection combined with greater area bond to the carrier. For these reasons, brazed contact are the ultimate in the higher current applications.

In this process, the contact and carrier are positioned in a fixture with the proper type and amount of brazing material between them. As they are passed thru the atmospherically controlled, high temperature brazing furnace, the brazing material alloys with the components and upon solidification, a strong, metallurgical bond is produced.

High brazing temperatures will cause annealing of most materials. This, if it is detrimental, can be compensated for by the subsequent cold working of the parts or the selection of heat treatable carrier materials.

The ability to fixture 2,3, 4, and 5 components and complete the assembly in one operation can produce generous cost savings.

Deringer can either use customer or supplied backing or produce the complete assembly of backing and contact.
