Exxelia is thrilled to announce its participation in the upcoming APEC 2024 conference to be held in Long Beach, California, USA.

APEC 2024The event will feature a compelling presentation by Exxelia's own Victor Quinn* on the topic of "Magnetics at Extreme Conditions" as part of the EMI & Magnetics session.

 

 

APEC 2024 Exxelia montage interviewVictor Quinn, a expert in the field, will delve into the intricacies of magnetic components and their performance under extreme conditions. With a focus on Exxelia's cutting-edge innovations, the presentation promises valuable insights into the challenges and solutions in the realm of electromagnetic interference and magnetics.

About the Session:

The EMI & Magnetics session at APEC 2024 is a platform for industry leaders and experts to share their knowledge and advancements in electronic components. Victor Quinn's presentation will shed light on Exxelia's commitment to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the world of magnetics, especially in environments with extreme conditions.

The target audience is electronics and magnetics design professionals, component engineers, purchasing agents and design engineers who develop components used in magnetics for extreme conditions.

 

Why Attend:

This presentation considers engineering methods to develop magnetic components for selected extreme power electronics conditions. These extreme application conditions include environmental and electrical operating conditions that compel unusual design and development processes, component materials, test methods and other controls to assure high reliability. Presentation content will help designers and project managers understand methods of risk management when magnetics are required for highly demanding applications.

Primary goal is to help power electronics professionals prevent excessive design iteration and reduce risk of unexpected magnetics failure for systems operating in extreme conditions. Recommended design experiments, empirical test methods and qualification methods will be provided.
The second goal is to help other professionals involved in the development of components for magnetics further anticipate component requirements for magnetics in extreme conditions.

* About Victor W. QUINN

  • Title: Director of Engineering and Technology
  • Affiliation: Exxelia USA
  • Biography of Presenter:

Victor Quinn Victor W. Quinn manages Exxelia’s US Magnetics Design Center with responsibilities for research and technology implementation on new products. With degrees in Physics and Electrical Engineering, since 1980 Mr. Quinn has specialized in magnetic component design and development for a wide variety of industrial, aerospace, space and defense applications. His original APEC publication was in 1994 concerning planar transformers and later a professional advancement course in expert transformer design was given at APEC 2006. He holds a longstanding interest in advancing magnetic components using improved design and empirical test methods and developing novel technologies that increase volumetric efficiency. Mr. Quinn has been granted multiple patents and others pending related to these efforts.

NASA's X-59 QueSST: Exxelia is on board

 If the program lives up to its promise, it could lead to the emergence of supersonic transport aircraft capable of flying over land, without the limitations imposed on Concorde in its day. For this project, Exxelia mainly produces coils from our US sites. Our components are intended for the aircraft engine.     With its elongated nose, its "humped" wings and its small scattered lifting surfaces, the X-59 is unlike any other aircraft. An exceptional configuration for exceptional capabilities. Credits: NASA   It will fly at a speed of 1.5 Mach (1.5 times the speed of sound), or more than 1,800 kilometers per hour. NASA hopes that its aircraft will eventually be used in civil aviation.   If the tests are successful, the X-59 QueSST could have two revolutionary effects on the U.S. and even the world's aeronautical landscape: The test aircraft could serve as inspiration for future mass-produced transport aircraft, whether airliners or business jets. The LBFD project as a whole could lead to an evolution of current aviation regulations. Rather than banning all civilian supersonic flights over the U.S., as is the case today, NASA is proposing to introduce noise-based regulation.   Credits : Lockheed Martin, NASA

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.
