Abstract
An air data probe includes a probe head having an interior surface defining a cavity, a component positioned within the cavity of the probe head, a plurality of protrusions defining contact between the interior surface of the probe head and a peripheral surface of the component prior to brazing the component to the probe head, and a braze material located between the interior surface of the probe head and the peripheral surface of the component as a result of brazing the component to the probe head.

An air data probe comprising:
- a probe head having an interior surface defining a cavity;
- a component positioned within the cavity of the probe head;
- a plurality of protrusions defining contact between the interior surface of the probe head and a peripheral surface of the component prior to brazing the component to the probe head;
- and
- a braze material located between the interior surface of the probe head and the peripheral surface of the component as a result of brazing the component to the probe head.
A method for connecting a component of an air data probe to an interior surface of a probe head of the air data probe, the method comprising:
- sliding the component into a cavity of the probe head such that a plurality of protrusions define contact between a peripheral surface of the component and an interior surface of the probe head;
- and
- brazing the component to the probe head to join an entirety of the peripheral surface of the component to the probe head.
