Countering Threats from Transients in Magnetics ; Exxelia to Showcase Innovations at CMSE 2024

Exxelia is pleased to exhibit at CMSE 2024 in Four Points by Sheraton hotel, in Los Angeles, from April 30 to May 2, 2024. Visit our booth B11

CMSE 2024The event will feature a compelling presentation by Exxelia's own Victor Quinn* on the topic of magnetics. 

 

 

CMSEVictor Quinn, a renowned expert in magnetics, will be taking the stage at the CMSE (Component, Materials, and Systems Engineering) conference in Los Angeles to deliver a compelling presentation titled "Countering Threats from Transients in Magnetics." This presentation aims to shed light on the potential risks posed by transient conditions on magnetic components and provide valuable insights into mitigating these risks throughout the product lifecycle.

 

About the Session:

Victor Quinn's presentation will delve into the nuances of transient-induced failures in magnetic components, offering attendees a comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms at play. By exploring real-world case studies and practical examples, Quinn will highlight the diverse range of transient threats that engineers may encounter in their designs.

The insights shared in Victor Quinn's presentation are expected to resonate with a wide audience, including component engineers, design engineers, project managers, and other magnetics sourcing authorities. 

 

Why Attend:

Transient conditions may cause unexpected responses from magnetic components.

These responses may threaten system functions and reliability. Presentation content will help attendees understand potential threats from transients in magnetic components and learn related risk mitigation strategies starting at initial specification phase through qualified production.

The presentation content is expected to benefit component engineers, design engineers, project managers and other magnetics sourcing authorities interested in preventing failures from transient conditions. Exxelia invites all attendees to join this insightful session to explore the fascinating world of magnetics.

Exxelia Ohmcraft Custom Resistors Enable Rapid COVID-19 Testing

Diagnostic medical device companies have been working tirelessly to develop testing solutions, particularly those that can provide rapid and reliable results. To make these test kits possible, manufacturers turned to Exxelia Ohmcraft—a leader in thick-film, high-voltage, high-precision resistor design and manufacturing The new all-inclusive rapid testing solutions involve processing patient samples using a thermocycler, an instrument that is used to amplify DNA and RNA to identify COVID-19. The thermocyclers utilize high-ohmic-value, low-noise surface mount resistors from Exxelia Ohmcraft to function. The resistors were required to meet tight specifications, including a small form factor to enable the testing devices to be portable. “Due to the current crisis, the customer was moving extremely quickly to get these test kits developed, produced, and into the hands of as many healthcare systems as possible. As a U.S. manufacturer with industry-leading lead times, Exxelia Ohmcraft was able to provide custom resistors essential to their mission,” said Eric Van Wormer, Vice President of Exxelia Ohmcraft. “We are proud to partner with companies committed to helping fight COVID-19.” Exxelia Ohmcraft’s technology utilizes the proprietary Micropen electronic printing system to “print” precise, narrow, serpentine lines with resistive ink on a ceramic substrate, producing higher performance resistors over a wider range of values on a smaller surface area than is possible with conventional film resistor technology.

Exxelia Ohmcraft’s Small, Low-Noise Resistors Maximize Design Options and Accuracy for Sensor Manufacturers

For more than 25 years, leading sensor manufacturers have turned to Exxelia Ohmcraft to provide small-form-factor, ultra-low-noise surface mount resistors to be used in a variety of critical sensor applications. In these applications, Exxelia Ohmcraft’s resistors enable designers to miniaturize the sensor’s footprint or accommodate multiple sensors in close proximity to each other—all while increasing accuracy of the end products. Resistors have a certain amount of electrical noise that is inherent in their construction, and the higher the noise, the more distorted the signal can become. Exxelia Ohmcraft’s high-resistance, low-noise chip resistors provide clearer signals to the sensor electronics, thereby improving their accuracy. To ensure requirements are met for specialty sensors such as those used to measure acceleration, velocity, or vibration, Exxelia Ohmcraft works closely with design engineers, who appreciate the combination of high performance, reliability, and small form factor that the company can provide. “Finding resistors that check all of these boxes can be a challenge for sensor designers. At Exxelia Ohmcraft, our understanding of these requirements allows us to provide the highest performing solution at the lowest possible cost,” said Eric Van Wormer, Vice President of Exxelia Ohmcraft. "In sensor electronics, it can be difficult to distinguish the signal one is trying to measure from the noise of the surrounding environment, but our low-noise resistors ensure that the signal quality is maximized.” Exxelia Ohmcraft’s technology utilizes the proprietary Micropen electronic printing system to “print” precise, narrow, serpentine lines with resistive ink on a ceramic substrate, producing higher performance resistors over a wider range of values on a smaller surface area than is possible with conventional film resistor technology.
