Exxelia Ohmcraft Resistors: Precision Resistors for the World’s Most Advanced Medical Applications.

Designed with precision and reliability at the core, Exxelia Ohmcraft Resistors are the standard in high-performance applications. Their stability, low noise, and high pulse load capability ensure optimal functionality in AEDs, contributing to their life-saving accuracy.

For example, Exxelia Ohmcraft’s high voltage resistors have played a critical role in AED operation for more than 20 years, especially : HVC series, SM series, HVR series, HVD series, and Custom.

- Voltage Ratings to 40 kV (HVD series)

- Resistance Values to 4 TΩ (HVR series)

- Ultra High Stability

- Very Low Noise

- Ratio Tolerances to 0.1% for all series

- TCR to 25 ppm/°C

- TCR Tracking to 5 ppm/°C

- VCR to 1 ppm/V (SM series)

- Custom Configurations

 

Exxelia director“In an emergency medical situation, reliability is critical—automated external defibrillators must always work and never fail. At Exxelia Ohmcraft, all of our resistors go through rigorous testing to ensure complete reliability. In addition, to maintain their portability, AEDs are manufactured to be as small as possible.

Our proprietary Micropen technology enables us to print surface mount resistors that are high in capability, and small in size, making them perfect for applications of this kind.”

said Vice President Exxelia Ohmcraft.

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 !

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.
