Magnetics at Extreme Conditions: Exxelia to Showcase Innovations at APEC 2024

Exxelia is thrilled to announce its participation in the upcoming APEC 2024 conference to be held in Long Beach, California, USA.

APEC 2024The event will feature a compelling presentation by Exxelia's own Victor Quinn* on the topic of "Magnetics at Extreme Conditions" as part of the EMI & Magnetics session.

 

 

APEC 2024 Exxelia montage interviewVictor Quinn, a expert in the field, will delve into the intricacies of magnetic components and their performance under extreme conditions. With a focus on Exxelia's cutting-edge innovations, the presentation promises valuable insights into the challenges and solutions in the realm of electromagnetic interference and magnetics.

About the Session:

The EMI & Magnetics session at APEC 2024 is a platform for industry leaders and experts to share their knowledge and advancements in electronic components. Victor Quinn's presentation will shed light on Exxelia's commitment to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the world of magnetics, especially in environments with extreme conditions.

The target audience is electronics and magnetics design professionals, component engineers, purchasing agents and design engineers who develop components used in magnetics for extreme conditions.

 

Why Attend:

This presentation considers engineering methods to develop magnetic components for selected extreme power electronics conditions. These extreme application conditions include environmental and electrical operating conditions that compel unusual design and development processes, component materials, test methods and other controls to assure high reliability. Presentation content will help designers and project managers understand methods of risk management when magnetics are required for highly demanding applications.

Primary goal is to help power electronics professionals prevent excessive design iteration and reduce risk of unexpected magnetics failure for systems operating in extreme conditions. Recommended design experiments, empirical test methods and qualification methods will be provided.
The second goal is to help other professionals involved in the development of components for magnetics further anticipate component requirements for magnetics in extreme conditions.

Exxelia expands its High-Performance Dielectric Resonators and Ferrites capabilities for Microwave Applications

New capabilities include the use of its latest E7000 material, which provides narrow bandwidths, temperature stability and high Q-factor together with advanced manufacturing skills such as the capability to deliver extremely small size, and complex ferrite designs.   Exxelia's E7000 series is a Ba-Mg-Ta based material that combines an ultra-high Q-factor and the possibility to get different temperature coefficients upon request. E7000 features the highest performance requested for space use in the frequency range from 5 to 32 GHz, and guarantees a Qxf up to > 250 000 at 10GHZ. In addition, Exxelia is now able to support the most advanced RF designs with the delivery of complex geometries such as Y-shape ferrites for microwave switches or Toroidal designs for phase shifters applications. Those miniaturized and complex products may be as small as few mm only and benefit from exceptional quality, superior performance and low loss (ΔH) materials. Exxelia is a unique manufacturer producing its own raw materials for Ferrites and Dielectrics with proprietary formulations for use in the most demanding environments.   Nicolas Dabadie, Microwave Materials business development manager at Exxelia said: "We are pleased to support our customers’ more and more complex designs and demanding applications. Our unique capability to master the manufacturing from raw materials to high-end finished products opens the way to new solutions for microwave applications going from few MHz to 40GHz".     E7000 SERIES TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS : Dielectric constant : 24 Q x f Factor (GHz) : 250000 Frequency : Min : 5900 MHz / Max : 37150 MHz Custom shapes available : disk, cylinder, square etc… Typical Q factor: 25000 at 10 GHz   More information: https://exxelia.com/en/product/detail/636/e7000   Ferrite materials are used in microwave devices such as isolators, circulators, diplexers, filters and phase shifters. They have dielectric and magnetic properties due to the presence of magnetic ions such as iron within the composition. Exxelia also offers a wide range of dielectric resonators series, including coaxial resonators in different sizes. Please contact us for additional details !

Euclid: The ESA mission embeds our magnetic components and capacitors

This remarkable achievement comes on top of our successful participation in ESA's JUICE mission and the presence of our components on board NASA's Perseverance rover. Euclid is an ambitious space mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) which aims to map the observable Universe and investigate mysterious dark energy and dark matter. The satellite will study galaxies that are at different distances from Earth using a 1.2m diameter telescope that carries two instruments: the Visible Light Observing Imager (VIS) and the Near Infrared Spectro-Imager (NISP). We are proud to have been selected as the supplier of high reliability passive components for this crucial mission. Our magnetic components (CMC 15, SESI inductor 9.1, 15 & 22) and capacitors have (PM 948S, PM 94S, DBIT X3S) been carefully designed and manufactured to meet the extreme requirements of space (ESA QPL) and play a key role in the success of the Euclid mission (we are inside PCDU =  Power conditioning distribution unit). Our expertise and our experience in the design and manufacture of custom-made passive electronic components for the space sector, allow us to meet the most stringent requirements of the aerospace industry. We are determined to maintain our position as a trusted supplier for renowned space missions.   Image crédit : ESA/C. Carreau,CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO   View the press release
