Exxelia SIC SAFCO celebrates its 100th anniversary !

Founded in 1921, SIC SAFCO, the historical brand of our electrolytic capacitors, is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year!

Founded in 1921, SIC SAFCO, the historical brand of our electrolytic capacitors, is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year!

We have come a long way since the creation of the Société Industrielle des Condensateurs (SIC)!

In 1930, Louis Ségal, the founder of SIC, set up his company in Colombes, in the Hauts de Seine region of France, and presented a patent for the manufacture of a three-phase capacitor with insulated wound sheets.  

In 1935, the French company for the manufacture of electrical capacitors (SAFCO) was born. SAFCO merged with SIC in 1954 to form the SIC SAFCO brand. 


This is the beginning of a great adventure for SIC SAFCO which will launch several ranges of capacitors such as : 


- The SNAPSIC range of aluminium electrolytic snap-in capacitors 
- The CUBISIC range of aluminium electrolytic radial capacitors 
- The FELSIC range of aluminium electrolytic capacitors with screw terminal

Some changes for SIC SAFCO which inaugurates its new site in Saint Nazaire in 2011 then change of name in 2015 for Exxelia SIC SAFCO.

In 2018, with the merger of Exxelia's French entities, Exxelia SIC SAFCO becomes Exxelia SAS.

Let's finish with the last news of the brand: the release in 2021 of the CUBISIC SLP range of radial electrolytic aluminium capacitors.

Exxelia intègre la French Fab

Exxelia est ravie de compter parmi les industriels français de la bannière La French Fab. La French Fab est l’étendard de l’industrie française en mouvement. Véritable signe fédérateur, ce nom rassemble les PME,ETI, grands groupes du territoire français. La marque La French Fab incarne les entreprises et sites industriels situés en France qui se reconnaissent dans la volonté de développer l’industrie française, adhèrent aux concepts et valeurs de la marque et veulent en porter les couleurs. Avec 6 sites industriels présents sur le territoire français, Exxelia partage les valeurs de la French Fab dans sa volonté de développer et transformer l’industrie française. Tout comme la French Fab, Exxelia est convaincue que la transformation de l’industrie passe par l'innovation pour aboutir à une industrie 4.0. Afin d’atteindre cet objectif, Exxelia s’est lancée dans le développement de l’industrie 4.0 en plaçant le digital au cœur de sa stratégie, et est actuellement en phase de déploiement de cette industrie du futur qui contribuera au renouveau de l’écosystème industriel français.

Exxelia expose à 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.
