Euclid : La mission de l'ESA embarque nos composants magnétiques et condensateurs.

Nos composants magnétiques et nos condensateurs sont à bord de la dernière mission de l'ESA : Euclid.

Cette réalisation remarquable vient s'ajouter à notre participation réussie à la mission JUICE de l'ESA et à la présence de nos composants à bord du rover Perseverance de la NASA.

Euclid est une mission spatiale ambitieuse de l'Agence Spatiale Européenne (ESA) qui vise à cartographier l'Univers observable et à enquêter sur la mystérieuse énergie sombre et la matière noire. Le satellite étudiera des galaxies qui se trouvent à différentes distances de la Terre au moyen d’un télescope de 1,2m de diamètre qui embarque deux instruments : l’imageur observant en lumière visible (VIS) et le spectro-imageur proche infrarouge (NISP).

Nous sommes fiers d'avoir été sélectionné comme fournisseur de composants passifs de haute fiabilité pour cette mission cruciale. Nos composants magnétiques (CMC 15, SESI inductance 9.1, 15 & 22) et nos condensateurs (PM 948S, PM 94S, DBIT X3S) ont été soigneusement conçus et fabriqués pour répondre aux exigences extrêmes de l'espace (ESA QPL) et jouer un rôle clé dans le succès de la mission Euclid (Nous équipons le PCDU = Unité de distribution de conditionnement de puissance). 

Euclid - Exxelia

Notre expertise et notre expérience dans la conception et la fabrication de composants électroniques passifs sur mesure pour le domaine spatial, nous permettent de répondre aux exigences les plus strictes de l'industrie aérospatiale. Nous sommes déterminés à maintenir notre position en tant que fournisseur de confiance pour les missions spatiales de renom.

Exxelia Ohmcraft Custom Resistors Enable Metabolic Analyses of Live Cell Cultures in Pharmaceutical Research

To do so, they must rely on life science research and diagnostic instruments with complex high gain amplifier circuits. Leading manufacturers of this type of equipment have partnered with Exxelia Ohmcraft to design custom, high-resistance surface mount resistors that are essential to the function of these circuits. Specifically, oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) are two key indicators of mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis that provide a systems-level view of cellular metabolic function in cultured cells. The analyzer equipment conducts these measurements automatically. “The accuracy and reliability of these tools are crucial to the researchers’ ability to make progress in their studies, which have the potential to change—and save—lives,” said Eric Van Wormer, Vice President of Exxelia Ohmcraft. “To meet the design needs of this particular application, we developed a custom resistor solution with a unique form factor and used special terminations to facilitate the manufacturability of the end product.” Exxelia Ohmcraft’s technology utilizes the proprietary Micropen electronic printing system to “print” precise, narrow, serpentine lines with resistive ink on a ceramic substrate, producing higher performance resistors over a wider range of values on a smaller surface area than is possible with conventional film resistor technology.

CUBISIC HTLP : Exxelia expands its range of low profile aluminum electrolytic capacitors

June 7, 2022 - Paris, France - Exxelia, a global manufacturer of complex passive components and subsystems for harsh environments, is expanding its CUBISIC capacitor range with a HTLP (High Temperature Low Profile) version. This CUBISIC HTLP offers, in a thin rectangular packaging, the highest energy density of capacitors in its class, combined with a high temperature resistance (-55° → +125°C).    CUBISIC HTLP, the new rectangular capacitor range that changes the game  The new range of CUBISIC HTLP by Exxelia clearly stands out! Why?  It offers up to 60% more capacity than any other rectangular electrolytic capacitor on the market, in the same volume, while having a 5,000-hour life span. Covering a temperature range of -55° → +125°C, the CUBISIC HTLP is designed to provide excellent performance in extreme temperatures, compatible with the most severe military and aerospace applications.    Engineers facing complex design requirements and looking for an easily integrated product will gain space and reliability through the use of improved materials fully REACH compliant. The CUBISIC HTLP withstands 20g vibration and is low-pressure qualified, making it compatible to 92,000 feet in altitude. It is ideally suited for integration into cockpits, actuators, and power generation in commercial and military aircraft as well as radar and laser systems.  TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS : Capacity from 140μF to 58 000μF Voltage from 7.5V to 350V Service life of 5,000 hours at 125°C Operating temperature -55°C to +125°C 20g vibrations and 92,000 feet altitude  RoHS versions available
