Larger Batches of High Q-Factor Dielectric Resonators

Exxelia can now produce larger batches of its E7000 series for increased cost-effectiveness. Designed for high-end filters where Q-factor is critical, especially in space or military applications, the E7000 series of dielectric resonator features tremendous properties.

Dielectric resonators are designed to replace resonant cavities in microwave functions such as filters and oscillators. Exxelia with the support of ESA and CNES developed the E7000 series that provides a narrow bandwidth with smaller size. E7000 is Ba-Mg-Ta materials based that combines an ultra-high Q-factor and the possibility to get all the temperature coefficients upon request. E7000 features the high-performance requested for space use in the frequency range from 5 to 32 GHz, and guarantees up to Qxf > 250 000 at 10GHZ.

Being one of the few manufacturers producing its own raw materials, Exxelia perfectly masters the production of dielectric resonators. Induced by the success of this new range, the company is now able to provide larger batches (up to 20kg of powder) of its E7000 series while keeping the exact same product properties, resulting in opportunities for cost-effective volume fabrication.

Typical applications for the E7000 series: Satellite multiplexing filter devices, radio links for communication systems (LMDS), military radars.

Boost your project with Exxelia film capacitors with reduced delivery times!

We are pleased to announce that certain products in our RA and KM film capacitor series, as well as our special PMR range (for the medical and railway markets), now benefit from reduced delivery times.   Reduced lead times for film capacitors of the RA (Polypropylene PP) and KM (Polyphenylene sulfide PPS) families: Indeed, delivery times for film capacitors in the RA and KM ranges have been considerably reduced. Previously, these products had an average lead time of 20 weeks, but through efforts to optimize our supply chain, we have managed to reduce this lead time to just 8 weeks on average! One of the key product of this range is the KM 111 S/T. This high performance film capacitor is ideal for a wide range of applications, such as power electronics, filters, inverters. The KM 111 S/T provides the precise capacitance value needed for special aviation electromechanical applications. With its high operating voltage and high energy density, the KM 111 S/T offers outstanding performance. And now, with a lead time reduced to just 8 weeks, you can incorporate it into your designs faster, accelerating your product development. Products KM 111 KM 21 KM 311 KM 50 KM 501 KM 531 KM 601 KM 62 KM 7 T KM 7 C KM 711 KM 78 KM 78R KM 82 KM 82 RS KM 90 KM 90P KM 94 KM 97 KM 31 KM 511 KM 531 KM 90T KM 90P Products RA 01 RA 02 RA 03 RA 04 RA 11 RA 12 RA 13 RA 14 RA 21 RA 22 RA 23 RA 24 RA 31 RA 32 RA 33 RA 34 RA 75   A revolution in delivery times with the film capacitors of the PMR (Polyphenylene Sulfide PPS) family: Our special PMR range, designed for medical and railway applications, also saw a significant improvement in its delivery times. In some cases, we have been able to reduce the usual delivery times for these specific products by a factor of 10. This means you can now get the PMR range film capacitors you need in record time! Film capacitors in the PMR range are specifically designed to meet the stringent requirements of medical and railway applications. Their reliability, stability, and extended life make them ideal choices for medical equipment, monitoring devices, rail transportation systems, and more. Thanks to our reduced delivery times, you can now benefit from these advantages without waiting long to receive your products.   PMR EFCO PMR 4 PMR 64

Exxelia Ohmcraft Custom Resistors Enable Rapid COVID-19 Testing

Diagnostic medical device companies have been working tirelessly to develop testing solutions, particularly those that can provide rapid and reliable results. To make these test kits possible, manufacturers turned to Exxelia Ohmcraft—a leader in thick-film, high-voltage, high-precision resistor design and manufacturing The new all-inclusive rapid testing solutions involve processing patient samples using a thermocycler, an instrument that is used to amplify DNA and RNA to identify COVID-19. The thermocyclers utilize high-ohmic-value, low-noise surface mount resistors from Exxelia Ohmcraft to function. The resistors were required to meet tight specifications, including a small form factor to enable the testing devices to be portable. “Due to the current crisis, the customer was moving extremely quickly to get these test kits developed, produced, and into the hands of as many healthcare systems as possible. As a U.S. manufacturer with industry-leading lead times, Exxelia Ohmcraft was able to provide custom resistors essential to their mission,” said Eric Van Wormer, Vice President of Exxelia Ohmcraft. “We are proud to partner with companies committed to helping fight COVID-19.” 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.
