EXXELIA at Space Tech Expo EU 2019

Exxelia showcases Space Grade Magnetics & Ceramic Capacitors at Space Tech Expo Europe 2019 in Bremen, Germany

Exxelia showcases Space Grade Magnetics & Ceramic Capacitors at Space Tech Expo Europe 2019 in Bremen, Germany

November 5th, 2019 – Paris, France - Exxelia, a leading global designer and manufacturer of highly engineered passive components, will be showcasing its ESA qualified CCM technology and its EPPL C48X Ceramic Capacitors range booth K-24 at Space Tech Expo Europe, November 19-21 in Bremen, Germany.

 

ESA Qualified CCM Technology

Exxelia’s highly customizable Chameleon Concept Magnetics technology allows to manufacture inductors and transformers. Available in 5 different sizes allowing a high number of windings and up to 10*2 pins, this technology withstands harsh environments, shocks and vibrations and operates over a wide temperature range of -55°C / +125°C.   

Thanks to its epoxy molding protecting the windings and ensuring a better thermal dissipation to the pins and PCB, CCM products imply 50% less temperature rise, hence offering an additional 10 to 20% more power compared to a standard technology.

The CCM Technology in 5 key takeaways:

  • Ideal for the design of multi outputs transformers
  • Time saving & Higher reliability: up to 10*2 pins avoiding lead wire connections
  • Easy mounting on PCB: compatible with pick-and-place surface mount
  • Up to +20% more power versus standard technologies
  • No additional cost for tooling and qualification

 

C48X Ceramic Capacitor range officially listed in EPPL

Combining the advantages of class 1 (NPO) and class 2 (X7R) dielectrics, the C48X dielectric (-2,200ppm/°C) provides, under working voltage, equivalent capacitance values to an X7R material with the advantage of a very low dissipation factor of less than 5.10-4.

  • Withstands very high dV/dt, up to 10kV/ µs
  • Very low dissipation factor -> less than 5.10-4
  • Capacitance value of 3.3µF 200V -> up to 40 times more than an NPO
  • Polymer flexible layer for chips range

Compatible to surface mounting (chips, DIL or ribbon leads) or through-hole mounting and available from 200V to 5kV with sizes ranging from 1812 to 6560 allowing a maximum capacitance of 3.3µF at 200V, the EPPL C48X series is ideal for pulse and charge/discharge applications and precision filtering capacitance in thermally challenged environment for AC or DC voltage and 400 Hz application such as on-board network.

Innovative new products at Electronica 2022 - Booth# A5 - 339

Electronica will take place from November 15th to 18th in Munich, Germany. On our booth #A5 - 339, we will be displaying a bunch of innovative new ranges. EMBEDDED DIVISION - AVIATION / DEFENSE / SPACE   We are proud to show our latest capacitor technology innovation called MML® technology. Miniature Micro-LayerTM Film is a breakthrough in film capacitor technology, with an energy density up to 4 times superior to other film dielectrics. MMLTM innovative technology makes power capacitors smaller, lighter and compatible to higher temperatures. It is perfect for DC link, decoupling, charge-discharge applications. Alongside MML, we will also be exhibiting innovations in magnetics, allowing saving up to 40% weight and 20% volume while dissipating more power. You will also find our new aluminum electrolytic rectangular low profile capacitors named Cubisic SLP and HTLP, our MIL & DSCC tantalum capacitors (newly qualified to reliability level P) as well as our multi-outputs CCM transformers & Dual Active Bridge. But also our components on board the eVTOL.   RAIL & INDUSTRY DIVISION   It is with great joy that we will be exhibiting Alcon capacitors for the first time on our booth. Alcon manufactures film and aluminum electrolytic capacitors that are particularly suitable for locomotives and power electricity charging stations. We will also exhibit film and ceramic capacitors for signaling, and magnetics for rail tracking system, openable current transformer, TFPP transformer and resistors.   MEDICAL DIVISION   Our new Exxelia Micropen branch has an outstanding product offer for medical products that will be showcased at Electronica for the first time ever!
