You are correct in your assumsion. Brazing can be used on a flexprint
whereas you would take the leadframes and using a brazng wedge on a
welder type machine, you would braze the pins/leadframes to the pads
with a third type of metal. I have not seen this requirement for many
years!

Subject: [TN] brazed connector on flexprint


Hi TechNet
Today's question:  A friend outside my company has a RFQ for a job that
calls for connector pins brazed to a flexprint.  He's not sure what this
means.  Is this requirement unusual, and is it different from soldering
the
pins to the flexprint?  I know that brazing is joining two metal
surfaces
with a third, different metal, which could include soldering, but I'm
wondering if something else is meant by this.

regards,
