Abstract

See full text

Improved lead attachment method accommodates a situation wherein electrical signal leads must be connected to portions of a circuit operating at high temperatures such as 900.degree. F. or more and terminate in equipment operating at or near ambient temperatures. For example, in solid electrolyte oxygen sensors incorporating a tubular ceramic member, a connection wire which is sufficiently thick to resist wire breakage during normal handling has been found to be too thick to bond to a connection pad on the ceramic without having the bond crack during thermal cycling. With improved method, a thin wire is attached to a thicker one in a region where flexing cannot occur. At least the larger wire is shrunk-fit into a hole formed in the ceramic before firing, and then the thinner wire is bonded to the pad with a conductive paste which must also be fired.
