Low cost assembly processes for non-linear resistors and ceramic capacitors

摘要

A brazing operation, using a silver-copper alloy preform in a temperature range of from 800 DEG C. to 1100 DEG C., is employed to attach either radial or axial conductive leads to ceramic non-linear resistors or capacitors, thereby eliminating the necessity of titanium-silver vacuum deposition or conductive cermet application prior to lead attachment. Glass encapsulation may be accomplished simultaneous with the brazing operation to further reduce cost.
