Exxelia at Space Tech Expo – Booth #5009

Exxelia is exhibiting at Space Tech Expo 2017 in Pasadena, California. From May 23th to 25th at booth # 5009, Exxelia will be showcasing innovative components dedicated to space applications.


100% invar tuning screws with self-locking system 


Invar-36 is a unique Iron-Nickel alloy (64 % Fe / 36 % Ni) sought-after for its very low coefficient of thermal expansion. With 1.1 ppm. K–1 between 0°C and 100°C, Invar-36 is about 17 times more stable than Brass which is the most traditional and common alloy Tuning Elements are made of. The working temperature range in Space is so wide that this property becomes essential for a reliable and stable cavity filter tuning. Self-locking system is a technology commonly used on Tuning Element made of Brass or other soft “easy-to-machine” alloys but is innovative and pretty advanced when applied to hard and tough Invar 36. The design consists of two threaded segments separated by two parallel slots. After cutting both parallel slots, the rotor is compressed in its length in order to create a plastic deformation. Thus, an offset is induced between the two threaded segments which generates a constant tensile stress in the rotor from the moment threaded segments are screwed.

High power and high frequency ceramics with the new C48X dielectric

Range of high voltage ceramic capacitors based on brand new dielectric material C48X, combining most advantages of NPO and X7R dielectrics. Compared to X7R material, C48X dielectric allows to get the same capacitance values under working voltage with the unrivaled advantage of a very low dissipation factor (less than 5.10–4). Besides, it can also withstand very high dV/dt, up to 10kV/μs, which makes it the solution of choice for pulse and fast charge/discharge applications or firing units. Thus capacitors with C48X dielectric appear to be ideally suited for power applications where heat dissipation may be detrimental to performances and reliability.


 

Magnetic components based on adaptive CCM technology

Exxelia designed CCM technology to respond to the growing interest of electronic engineers for inductors and transformers with multiple outputs, high power density and reduced footprint.

Qualified for aeronautic and space applications, the CCM product line features terrific robustness. The CCM technology adapts to most every need, even the harshest environments, including VIGON® resistance. The series offers five different sizes, allowing optimized component design in a pick-and-place surface mount (SMD) package. Through-hole (TH) packages are also available upon request. CCM transformers and inductors can operate over a wide temperature range with a minimal temperature of -55° C. The standard thermal grade of the technology is 140° C. The epoxy molding protecting the winding ensures a lower temperature gradient and a better heat dissipation. Each unit is thoroughly tested with a dielectric withstanding strength of 1,500 VAC.

Exxelia at PCIM

Two new ranges of MIL-qualified tantalum capacitors: MIL39006/22 & MIL39006/25 The recently introduced ranges of MIL-qualified tantalum capacitors will be showcased on the company booth. MIL 39006/22 and MIL 39006/25 respectively equivalent to CLR79 and CLR81 types featuring hermetically sealed cylindrical tantalum cases and axial leads are available in T1, T2 T3 and T4 cases with extended capacitance and voltage ratings. MIL 39006/22 is qualified for voltages from 6V to 125V and provides from 1200µF @6V to 56µF @125V. MIL 39006/25 is qualified for voltages from 25V to 125V and delivers from 680µF @25V to 82µF @125V. Both ranges combine high energy density with a large operating temperature range of -55°C - +125°C and H vibrations and shocks resistance. PHM 912, very high energy density film capacitors PHM 912 is a new standard series of film capacitors based on a novel metallized plastic film dielectric from Dupont Teijin®. The PHM 912 capacitors are specifically designed for DC filtering or energy storage. Very stable in both temperature and frequency, they are well-adapted for applications such as filtering in H.F. switch mode power supplies, DC link or decoupling. The range can withstand temperatures up to 155°C and up to 175°C in custom version. With their high energy density, these capacitors allow highly integrated power filters. Their compact construction results in a low ESR, ESL and excellent high current and frequency performances. The series provides 250V @68µF and 0,27µF @1000V.  The PHM 912 series makes significant advances over previous technologies by combining the benefits of excellent temperature resistance with superior energy densities, making it one of the most compact capacitors on the market. Felsic HV, long lifetime and high voltage screw terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor The Felsic HV family of aluminum electrolytic screw terminal capacitors provides great performances in energy density combined with ultra-long lifetime. For instance, 6 800µF @450V fit into a volume of Ø77x220mm  and can withstand 200,000 hours between 0 to 70° under 37Amps, which makes them the perfect choice for use in rolling stock traction systems or the CVS. The family also has one of the lowest ESR of its class with less than 10m0hms in most cases. Products are available for voltages from 160 to 450Vdc, and offer capacitance values from 1500μF up to 47 000μF offering the best compromise between reliability and compactness.
