July 14: When our components take flight aboard iconic aircraft

The Rafale, flagship of French aviation The Rafale, a French multipurpose combat aircraft, is a symbol of air power. Exxelia is proud to be the preferred supplier of electronic components for this exceptional aircraft. Thanks to our expertise in high-performance components, the Rafale is able to deploy its maximum power during critical missions. Whether in the air or on the ground, Exxelia components guarantee the reliability and exceptional performance of the Rafale. Exxelia is onboard with Film & Tantalum capacitors, Ceramic capacitors, High voltage capacitor block, Electrolytic aluminum capacitors, Magnetic components, Slip Rings & potentiometers, Miniature filters & Resistors.     The Alpha Jet, ambassador of French excellence The Alpha Jet, an advanced training aircraft used by several air forces around the world, is another example of aircraft that carry Exxelia components. With its maneuverability and versatility, the Alpha Jet is a preferred choice for pilot training and reconnaissance missions. Exxelia contributes to the reliability of this aircraft by supplying state-of-the-art electronic components for aeronautics, thus guaranteeing its proper functioning and safety. Our miniature capacitors with a high capacitance value from the CNC series range equip the Aphajet https://exxelia.com/en/product/detail/2/cnc-series     The F-16, international cooperation When we talk about the national holiday of July 14, it is also important to highlight the international partnerships that strengthen our aeronautical industry. The F-16, a multipurpose combat aircraft developed in collaboration with the United States, is a striking example of this cooperation. Exxelia supplies essential components for the F-16, thus contributing to the success of this strategic alliance.     The Tiger Helicopter: Air Force in Action The Tiger helicopter embodies the power and versatility of combat helicopters. Whether for reconnaissance, fire support or anti-tank missions, the Tiger is a reference in terms of operational performance. Exxelia contributes to the reliability of this aircraft by supplying state-of-the-art electronic components for defense.     The A400M, a giant of the air The A400M multipurpose military transporter is another aircraft that proudly incorporates Exxelia components. Designed for tactical, strategic and logistical transport missions, the A400M is a major asset for air forces. We equip the engine control & monitoring unit (EPMU), but also the MTU Aeroengines with our PET PM 90R2 47uF 20% 200V polyester film capacitors and the ICM Interconnection module - Transient filter design with C Series C48K high voltage ceramic capacitors (C480YCW 10nF 10% 500V - C280YCW 100nF 10% 500V).                 Custom design film : optimized characteristics and integration  SPT1221W 300nF 10% 630V (SMD)  SP2983W 100uF 5% 500V               SP3012W 4,7uF 10% 500V (THT) 

Film capacitor series keeps its cool even at 150°C

The Exxelia Dearborn 880P series of metalised Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) Film Capacitors is designed to keep cool when things get hot. With an operating temperature range of -55 to +150°C, they experience no derating for DC operations and none in AC operations up to +125°C. This enables them to function at full capacity in extreme heat applications. The ability to operate at such high temperatures can eliminate the need for a cooling system within the design, thus reducing overall design time, weight and space. PPS is a high-temperature, low-loss dielectric film used in the 880P series of wrap-and-fill capacitors. This allows them to feature superior electrical characteristics over an extremely wide temperature range and maintain excellent capacitance stability in one rugged, lightweight package. It performs consistently well in commercial applications such as in power supplies and in more demanding applications, such as in avionics, on a congested control or instrumentation panel. The series features a capacitance range of 0.0047 to 10.0µF and voltage ratings from 50 to 400VDC with precision tolerances as low as ±¼% through ±10% yielding greater accuracy of capacitance. It is also a customisable unit with voltage maximums of 700 – 800VDC at 125°C maximum (higher voltages are available at reduced capacitance). Made in the USA, the units are highly durable and capable of withstanding a five-pound pull force on lead axis. They are non-polar and demonstrate low loss factor, good voltage breakdown strength and high insulation resistance (low leak current) – and are completely stable over normal temperatures, voltages and frequency ranges. These characteristics allow the 880P series capacitors to deliver high performance in a variety of applications such as DC timing circuits, low- to high-frequency AC applications, and pulse or energy discharge uses. Additionally, the package has axial leads with moisture-resistant, flame-retardant epoxy end seals and an outer tape covering for maximum performance.
