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.

Thanks to an innovative process, we're able to keep the capacitor very dense while maintaining very good electrical characteristics (such as current), and this without impairing the heating of the part.   Applications : In demanding power electronic circuits, this capacitor is a trusted component for smooth operation in Induction heating, electric Cars, medical Imaging, EV Wireless Chargers, resonant Circuits and industrial induction welding.    For more information about this remarkable power film capacitor, visit Exxelia's FP 20-400-SP product page, and also all the Power Film capacitors Exxelia Alcon family.     

Exxelia equips the Turkish satellite IMECE with tantalum and ceramic capacitors

IMECE is a technological feat that pushes the boundaries of high-resolution imaging. Exxelia is proud to play an essential role in this space adventure by providing quality components to ensure proper operation.   IMECE is an earth observation satellite designed and developed by TÜBİTAK Space Technologies Research Institute (TÜBİTAK UZAY) and produced in Türkiye to provide high-resolution imagery. The spacecraft has a mass of 800 kg (1,800 lb) and it will serve at 680 km (420 mi) on a sun-synchronous geocentric orbit. The Satellite, projected for a mission duration of five years, has 0.99m image resolution of Panchromatic (PAN). The satellite has been launched on 15 April 2023 on a SpaceX's Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket as part of the Transporter-7 ridershare mission.   Exxelia equips the satellite with PM series capacitors that are used in the satellite's Power Distribution Unit (PDU). Exxelia's PM series capacitors are renowned for their reliability, performance, and durability, making them ideal for space applications. Exxelia also supplies tantalum capacitors and ceramic capacitors for the payloads of the IMECE Satellite. These components are designed to withstand the extreme conditions of space and ensure the proper operation of scientific instruments and equipment on board the satellite.   We look forward to the discoveries and data that the IMECE Satellite will provide during its five-year mission. The future of space exploration looks promising, and Exxelia will continue to play an active role in this exciting adventure.
