Method for connecting at least two components of an endoscope, components of an endoscope and endoscope
First Claim
1. Method for connecting at least two components of an endoscope or medical instrument, the method comprising:
- introducing at least one brazing preform, which contains a high-temperature brazing solder, into at least one brazing solder reservoir of at least one of the components,arranging the at least two components so that the at least two components are held in relation to one another in such a way that at least one brazing gap, that is in capillary connection with the at least one brazing solder reservoir, is formed between joining regions of the at least two components that are assigned to one another, the at least one brazing solder reservoir and the at least one brazing gap being formed such that a volume of the at least one brazing solder reservoir is greater than a volume of the brazing gap by at least an amount that corresponds to a proportion of a binder in the at least one brazing preform, andheating the at least two components and the at least one brazing preform to a brazing temperature of the high-temperature brazing solder.

Abstract
In the case of a method according to the invention for connecting at least two components of an endoscope, at least one brazing preform, which contains a high-temperature brazing solder, is introduced into at least one brazing solder reservoir of at least one of the components, the at least two components are held in relation to one another in such a way that at least one brazing gap that is in capillary connection with the at least one brazing solder reservoir is formed between joining regions of the at least two components that are assigned to one another, and the arrangement (1, 22) comprising the at least two components and the at least one brazing preform is heated to a brazing temperature of the high-temperature brazing solder. The invention also relates to a component of an endoscope and to an endoscope.
