Exxelia at Space Tech Expo US 2019

Exxelia is pleased to announce the ESA qualification of its CCM technology, according to specification number ESCC 3201/011 at Space Tech Expo US 2019

Exxelia CCM Technology of Magnetic Components officially ESA qualified

April 30th, 2019 – Paris, France - Exxelia, a leading global designer and manufacturer of highly engineered passive components, is pleased to announce the ESA qualification of its CCM technology, according to specification number ESCC 3201/011. 

Exxelia’s highly customizable Chameleon Concept Magnetics product line, a molded SMD Magnetic Component using Linear Winding Technology, allows to design both SMD inductors and transformers.
While standard packages such as RM and EQ offer a limited number of outputs, the five sizes (CCM4, CCM5, CCM6, CCM20, CCM25) offer up to 2x10 output pins while still being easy to mount on PCB without additional leads ensuring time saving and increased reliability! 
Thanks to its optimized thermal design, CCM products reduce the temperature rise by 50% compared to standard technologies, hence allowing an additional 30% power density into the same package. In addition, its unique design with epoxy molded winding ensures extreme high robustness and mechanical performance up to 100g shocks and 30g vibrations.
Perfect for use in switch mode power supplies, CCM platform is now available for customization.

JUICE Mission to Jupiter: Exxelia components ready to withstand extreme space conditions

Exxelia is known for the quality and reliability of its products, making it a popular choice for space missions. Exxelia components are used in many embedded systems on board the JUICE mission, including capacitors (High Voltage C Series X7R & TCK Series X7R, CEC Series NP0, Polyester PET PM 948) and magnetics (Inductors MPCI, CMC, SESI inductors, Common mode choke and specific transformers). They have been carefully designed and tested to withstand the extreme conditions of space. Exxelia has been working closely on this project for more than 10 years, notably on the GALA (GAnymede Laser Altimeter) and MAJIS (Moon and Jupiter Imaging Spectrometer) instruments.   Conditions in space are extreme, with high levels of radiation, drastic temperature variations, and intense vibrations. Exxelia components have been designed to withstand these conditions, providing consistent and reliable performance throughout the mission.   1st European mission to Jupiter. Focusing on its icy moons and evaluating the potential for habitable worlds. The JUICE mission is an ambitious undertaking that aims to explore Jupiter's icy moons and study their composition and history. This mission will help us better understand the evolution of the solar system and search for signs of life beyond Earth.   More information about the mission : https://sci.esa.int/web/juice/   View the press release

Exxelia unveils two brand new High Temperature Film Capacitors series operating up to 200°C

Exxelia unveils two brand new High Temperature Film Capacitors series operating up to 200°C June 30th 2020 - Paris, France - Exxelia, an established designer and manufacturer of complex passive components, resistors & sub-systems dedicated to harsh environments, launches its new 253P & 560P product series providing unmatched performances at high temperature.   253P series, the 200°C Film capacitor series with unmatched stability The PTFE 253P series is the most stable 200°C Film capacitor on the market with its unparalleled stability of <2,5% with capacitance from 0.22μF to 1μF under 250VDC to 800VDC. It offers the lowest loss characteristic (Tẟ) of all film technologies less than 0,1% at extreme temperatures (200°C) with excellent life performance in operations. The series offers great resistance to vibrations, shocks and to over voltage making it ideal for Oil & Gas applications as well as Defense and Civil Aviation. SPECIFICATIONS: Voltages from 250VDC to 800VDC Capacitance from 0.22μF to 1μF Standard Tolerance ±10%, ±5%* Operating Temperature -55°C to +200°C  560P Film Capacitor series, is a High Temperature Polymer operating up to 180°C Exxelia’s 560P product series combines electrical performance between BOPP & PET while exhibiting a higher operating temperature up to 180°C and longer lifetime, it is the perfect cost-effective solution for high reliability and performance in severe environments. With absolutely no derating up to 150°C, its very stable TCC <2,5% and its great resistance to vibrations, shocks and over voltage, the series supplant high temperature ceramics and tantalums being an ideal choice for many capacitor applications in harsh environments i.e. DC Link, AC Filtering, ....   SPECIFICATIONS: Voltages from 320VDC to 800VDC Capacitance value from 0.022μF to 10μF Standard Tolerance ±10%, ±5%* Temperature ranges from -55°C to +180°C   Both series are available with a high degree of customization (* tighter tolerances available upon request). Representative samples are readily available for evaluation. For more information contact sales.usa@exxelia.com or visit www.exxelia.com
