Exxelia at Space Tech Expo US 2019

Exxelia is pleased to announce the ESA qualification of its CCM technology, according to specification number ESCC 3201/011 at Space Tech Expo US 2019


Exxelia CCM Technology of Magnetic Components officially ESA qualified

April 30th, 2019 – Paris, France - Exxelia, a leading global designer and manufacturer of highly engineered passive components, is pleased to announce the ESA qualification of its CCM technology, according to specification number ESCC 3201/011. 

Exxelia’s highly customizable Chameleon Concept Magnetics product line, a molded SMD Magnetic Component using Linear Winding Technology, allows to design both SMD inductors and transformers.
While standard packages such as RM and EQ offer a limited number of outputs, the five sizes (CCM4, CCM5, CCM6, CCM20, CCM25) offer up to 2x10 output pins while still being easy to mount on PCB without additional leads ensuring time saving and increased reliability! 
Thanks to its optimized thermal design, CCM products reduce the temperature rise by 50% compared to standard technologies, hence allowing an additional 30% power density into the same package. In addition, its unique design with epoxy molded winding ensures extreme high robustness and mechanical performance up to 100g shocks and 30g vibrations.
Perfect for use in switch mode power supplies, CCM platform is now available for customization.

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.
