Revolutionary Exxelia MML™ Ultra-High Energy Density Film Capacitors

Discover the power of MML™ technology The best performing film capacitors on the market with the highest energy density ever! Exxelia&#39;s revolutionary MML™ ultra-high energy density Film Capacitors are a game changer in the industry due to their unparalleled energy density of 400 J/dm3. This allows for a significant reduction in size and weight in comparison to traditional Polypropylene or Polyester dielectrics, as well as an increased operating temperature of up to 140°C and protection against transient voltage. Not only do MML™ capacitors offer a large flexibility in design, allowing for low profile configurations, but they have also been tested in actual cases for controls and DC-Links functions in aircraft applications and have shown a reduction in size and weight of about 50% compared to other film technologies.   Furthermore, when compared to MLCCs, MML™ capacitors have demonstrated a reduction in weight of between 70% to 90%, with no capacitance derating with voltage applied and a low drift of less than 5% across the temperature range. Applications that previously required clusters of stacked MLCCs can now be replaced by a single MML™ unit of similar size, with the added reliability that film dielectric offers. The exceptional properties of Exxelia&#39;s new MML™ capacitors make them suitable for a wide range of applications including power supplies, DC-links, AC/DC/AC power converters, charge/discharge or power generation functions of commercial/military aircraft, satellite platforms and payloads, launchers, defibrillators, downhole tools and any other applications that require confined electronics. Samples are available upon request.   Features & Benefits : Miniaturization of the function : Up to 50% size reduction vs other film technologies ; matching footprint with stacked MLCC Lightweight : 50% lighter vs other film technologies ; 80 to 90% lighter than ceramic No capacitance derating in voltage, stable in temperature (<5% drift through the temperature range) Capacitance from 1μF to 1000μF  Voltages from 50V to 1000V  Operating Temperature -55 °C to +140 °C Highly customizable   Get your white paper around our MML Film Capacitor Download our white paper now on our innovative Miniature Micro-Layer™ (MML™) technology, which offers the highest capacitance per volume for film capacitors available on the market, by filling out the form below.   Chargement&hellip;

Film capacitor series keeps its cool even at 150°C

The Exxelia Dearborn 880P series of metalised Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) Film Capacitors is designed to keep cool when things get hot. With an operating temperature range of -55 to +150°C, they experience no derating for DC operations and none in AC operations up to +125°C. This enables them to function at full capacity in extreme heat applications. The ability to operate at such high temperatures can eliminate the need for a cooling system within the design, thus reducing overall design time, weight and space. PPS is a high-temperature, low-loss dielectric film used in the 880P series of wrap-and-fill capacitors. This allows them to feature superior electrical characteristics over an extremely wide temperature range and maintain excellent capacitance stability in one rugged, lightweight package. It performs consistently well in commercial applications such as in power supplies and in more demanding applications, such as in avionics, on a congested control or instrumentation panel. The series features a capacitance range of 0.0047 to 10.0µF and voltage ratings from 50 to 400VDC with precision tolerances as low as ±¼% through ±10% yielding greater accuracy of capacitance. It is also a customisable unit with voltage maximums of 700 – 800VDC at 125°C maximum (higher voltages are available at reduced capacitance). Made in the USA, the units are highly durable and capable of withstanding a five-pound pull force on lead axis. They are non-polar and demonstrate low loss factor, good voltage breakdown strength and high insulation resistance (low leak current) – and are completely stable over normal temperatures, voltages and frequency ranges. These characteristics allow the 880P series capacitors to deliver high performance in a variety of applications such as DC timing circuits, low- to high-frequency AC applications, and pulse or energy discharge uses. Additionally, the package has axial leads with moisture-resistant, flame-retardant epoxy end seals and an outer tape covering for maximum performance.
