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!

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, Graham Collins Process Engineer, Litton Systems Canada, Atlantic Facility (902) 873-2000 ext 6215 ############################################################## TechNet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ############################################################## To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TECHNET <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TECHNET ############################################################## Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information.
