Derailleurs specified with a band have a clamp (band) that is meant to go around the seat-tube. Derailleurs that are specified for braze-ons do not have a clamp. It is assumed the frame has a mounting (used to be brazed/welded on) or tab for the derailleur to attach directly.

Here are two examples of a Shimano Dura-Ace front derailleur. The first has a clamp/band. The second is meant for a braze-on mount.
