Des composants Exxelia à bord du Rover Perseverance

Après la sonde InSight qui s'est posée sur la planète rouge le 26 novembre 2018 avec à son bord nos condensateurs film, c'est à bord du robot Perseverance qu'Exxelia fait son retour sur Mars !

 

Au terme d’un voyage de sept mois, le robot Perseverance de la NASA s'est posé sur Mars, hier à 21h55 heure Française. L'objectif de sa mission consiste à rechercher des traces de vie primitive ancienne sur la Planète rouge. 

Le robot est équipé de plusieurs instruments de mesure et de prélèvement, dont SuperCam, MEDA et PIXL sur lesquels nos composants sont embarqués:

  • Transformateurs et inductances: SESI, CMC et MPCI
  • Condensateurs film PM94
  • Condensateurs tantale solide CTC21
  • Résistances Ohmcraft HVD, HVR and CN 

L'objectif principal de SuperCam est de caractériser les roches présentes sur le sol Martien. L'instrument peut effectuer des analyses à distance grâce à son laser et à ses spectomètres, sans attendre le retour des échantillons sur terre.

L'analyseur dynamique, connu sous le nom de MEDA (Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer), effectue des mesures météorologiques, notamment la vitesse et la direction du vent, la température et l'humidité. Il mesure également la quantité et la taille des particules de poussière dans l'atmopshère martienne. 

PIXL est un spectromètre à fluorescence X qui fournira une détection et une analyse à échelle fine des éléments chimiques dans les roches et le sol.

Exxelia unveils new Innovative Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor product line

FELSIC HC highest energy density of screw terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitor What if engineers could save 30% on room and weight, for a given energy storage function? This is now achievable with EXXELIA new FELSIC HC series of aluminum electrolytic screw terminal capacitors ! As Jérôme Tabourel, Exxelia Vice President of Marketing and Sales says: “Thanks to the use of improved materials, this new FELSIC family offers the highest energy density of the market, while still offering ultra-long life time”. These excellent characteristics allow to reduce the number of components used for the function, hence allowing room and weight savings of 30% on circuit board and greater reliability. Where to use FELSIC HC? These products are the perfect choice for Energy Storage and Power Industry equipment. SPECIFICATIONS: Capacitance from 100μF to 3 121 000μF  Energy density up to 21 µF/cm3 for a custom design Voltages from 10V to 500V Life time of 8000 hours at 85°C Operating Temperature -40°C to +85°C

Exxelia acquires Deyoung MFG., INC.

“The DMI acquisition directly supports our Magnetics SBU expansion strategy. DMI’s strategic location in the Pacific Northwest aerospace market provides a key geographic location for driving growth and profitability,” said François Vignaud, Exxelia Magnetics’ SBU VP. “DMI is highly regarded for the quality of its products and the operational performance of its organization. DMI products can be found on most major commercial aerospace platforms, supporting in flight power, lighting and entertainment sub-systems.” “We welcome DMI into the Exxelia Group,” said Exxelia USA President Michael Thomas. “During its 40-plus years in business, DMI has built solid customer relationships with a strong brand reputation in the aerospace, medical and other high-reliability magnetics markets. Acquiring DMI creates the potential for both revenue and cost synergies related to cross selling and procurement savings as we leverage Exxelia Group’s broader global supply chain and operational excellence practices to support DMI’s operations.” According to Martin DeYoung, President & CEO of DMI, “We are excited to now be a part of Exxelia’s growth and expanded product offerings. The DeYoung’s recognized a shared business culture driven by a passion for quality and customer loyalty. By joining Exxelia Group we achieve a goal of meeting our strategic growth objectives while protecting our long standing relationships with our key aerospace customers and their contract manufacturers.” “This acquisition addresses our aerospace customers increasing requirements for global manufacturing access and timely support” stated Eric DeYoung, VP of Operations at DMI. “Together, we have global reach with the capability to serve our customers – whatever their size, location, or aerospace industry sector with one of the most comprehensive and competitive groups of design and manufacturing capabilities.”
