Exxelia at PCIM

Exxelia will be showcasing high-reliability power solutions at PCIM on hall 6 booth #140 from June 05-07, 2018 in Nuremberg, Germany.


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.

Exxelia Ohmcraft Custom Resistors Enable Metabolic Analyses of Live Cell Cultures in Pharmaceutical Research

To do so, they must rely on life science research and diagnostic instruments with complex high gain amplifier circuits. Leading manufacturers of this type of equipment have partnered with Exxelia Ohmcraft to design custom, high-resistance surface mount resistors that are essential to the function of these circuits. Specifically, oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) are two key indicators of mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis that provide a systems-level view of cellular metabolic function in cultured cells. The analyzer equipment conducts these measurements automatically. “The accuracy and reliability of these tools are crucial to the researchers’ ability to make progress in their studies, which have the potential to change—and save—lives,” said Eric Van Wormer, Vice President of Exxelia Ohmcraft. “To meet the design needs of this particular application, we developed a custom resistor solution with a unique form factor and used special terminations to facilitate the manufacturability of the end product.” 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.
