Countering Threats from Transients in Magnetics ; Exxelia to Showcase Innovations at CMSE 2024

Exxelia is pleased to exhibit at CMSE 2024 in Four Points by Sheraton hotel, in Los Angeles, from April 30 to May 2, 2024. Visit our booth B11

CMSE 2024The event will feature a compelling presentation by Exxelia's own Victor Quinn* on the topic of magnetics. 

 

 

CMSEVictor Quinn, a renowned expert in magnetics, will be taking the stage at the CMSE (Component, Materials, and Systems Engineering) conference in Los Angeles to deliver a compelling presentation titled "Countering Threats from Transients in Magnetics." This presentation aims to shed light on the potential risks posed by transient conditions on magnetic components and provide valuable insights into mitigating these risks throughout the product lifecycle.

 

About the Session:

Victor Quinn's presentation will delve into the nuances of transient-induced failures in magnetic components, offering attendees a comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms at play. By exploring real-world case studies and practical examples, Quinn will highlight the diverse range of transient threats that engineers may encounter in their designs.

The insights shared in Victor Quinn's presentation are expected to resonate with a wide audience, including component engineers, design engineers, project managers, and other magnetics sourcing authorities. 

 

Why Attend:

Transient conditions may cause unexpected responses from magnetic components.

These responses may threaten system functions and reliability. Presentation content will help attendees understand potential threats from transients in magnetic components and learn related risk mitigation strategies starting at initial specification phase through qualified production.

The presentation content is expected to benefit component engineers, design engineers, project managers and other magnetics sourcing authorities interested in preventing failures from transient conditions. Exxelia invites all attendees to join this insightful session to explore the fascinating world of magnetics.

Inauguration EXXELIA Manufacturing site Morocco

We are thrilled to announce the inauguration of our brand new, modern, custom-built site in Morocco, a colossal 10,000 m2 industrial facility dedicated to electronic products. This state-of-the-art site is equipped with a 200 m2 clean room and is fully air-conditioned, setting a new standard in electronic manufacturing.     Features at a Glance: Industry 4.0 Orientation: Our modern plant follows the Hoshin method, embraces digital integration, and adopts lean principles. This ensures efficiency, precision, and adaptability in our manufacturing processes. Workplace Modernization: Our workshops are designed with the well-being of our teams in mind. We've modernized workstations, introduced new, more reliable, and productive equipment, creating clean, pleasant, and ergonomic environments. Green Surroundings: Easy access to a green environment enhances the overall workspace experience, promoting a positive atmosphere for innovation and collaboration.   Main Activities: Internal Subcontracting for French & US Sites: Our facility specializes in manufacturing a range of electronic components, including ceramic capacitors, electrolytic components, film products, stators, magnetic products, position sensors, and slip rings. Electronic Assembly for External Customers: We offer electronic assembly services for external customers, covering the winding of transformers and chokes, assembly of rotors and stators, wiring, and microwave micro-electronic assembly.   This step marks a significant expansion for Exxelia, solidifying our commitment to excellence and innovation in electronic manufacturing.    

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.
