A vacuum interrupter, an envelope of which includes a pair of electrical lead rods of copper or copper-based alloy, one lead rod being brazed vacuum-tight to one end plate via a first tubular sealing member fitted onto one rod, and a bellows surrounding another lead rod, an outer end of the bellows being joined vacuum-tight to another end plate and an inner end of the bellows being brazed vacuum-tight to the other lead rod via a second tubular sealing member fitted onto the other lead rod. Each sealing member is made of an iron-based alloy and has an inner wall including a groove retaining solid brazing metal and two vacuum-tight brazing surfaces opposing each rod across a small clearance. The molten brazing metal permetates through the clearance due to wetablility and capillary action without erodingly diffusing into the opposing surfaces of the lead rods and the first and second sealing members.

A vacuum interrupter including an envelope which comprises at least one cylinder, two annular end plates connected in a vacuum-tight manner to the opposite ends of the cylinder, a pair of electrical lead rods of copper or a copper-based alloy, an inner end of each electrical lead rod having an electrical contact, and one electrical lead rod being brazed in a vacuum-tight manner to one end plate via a first sealing means, and a bellows of an iron-based alloy surrounding another electrical lead rod, an outer end of the bellows being joined in a vacuum-tight manner to another end plate and an inner end of the bellows being brazed in a vacuum-tight manner to the other electrical lead rod via a second sealing means, the pair of electrical lead rods being electrically disconnected when the contacts are separated, wherein the first and second sealing means have generally tubular sealing members made of an iron-based alloy and fitted onto the corresponding electrical lead rod, and wherein a groove retaining a solid brazing metal and two vacuum-tight brazing surfaces opposing the corresponding electrical lead rod with a small clearance are formed in the inner wall of each sealing member.
