Space-saving components on runway at Paris Air Show

Exxelia will feature its Smart Integrated Magnetics which combine multiple functions (Inductor + Transformer) into a single compact component, contributing to systems miniaturization and mass reduction.

These components are designed to minimize losses, achieving efficiencies above 99% even at high operating frequencies (10 kHz to 500 kHz).

Their compatibility with advanced silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductors enables the design of more compact and lighter power converters. The technology offers a wide range of inductance values with a high accuracy.

The integrated design contributes to a reduction in total cost of ownership. These components are suitable for demanding applications such as electric or hybrid mobility (aerospace including eVTOLs), military/defense systems, electrical energy storage systems and smart grids, supporting power levels up to 300 kW.

Also on display will be the MML (Miniature Micro-Layer) film capacitors offer high performance for applications where size, mass, and reliability are paramount.

These capacitors achieve an energy density up to 4 times higher, offering a size reduction of up to factor 4 compared to traditional film technologies, and are up to 90% lighter than equivalent multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs).

They are constructed with a non-inductive stacked metallized polymer film and are encapsulated for robust mechanical and environmental protection. Qualified according to MIL-STD 202 and a qualified ESA assessment, MML capacitors are designed for high-reliability environments.

They feature an open-circuit failure mode with self-healing properties, ensuring long-term operational integrity.

These capacitors maintain stable performance over a wide operating temperature range, from -55°C to +140°C. The capacitance range varies from 100nF ~ 5000µF and voltage up to 2000V DC.

Exxelia also offers highly customizable MML solutions, including various case types (D, M, C series) and custom designs to optimize integration, Thermal heating monitoring with Thermo couples, and specific electrical characteristics for unique application requirements. MML capacitors are used in critical applications such as power converters, energy management systems, payloads, telemetry, flight controls, charge/discharge circuits, generators, and electric motors.

They are tested to meet various environmental and durability standards, including humidity (MIL-STD-202 Method 103), barometric pressure (Method 105), thermal shock (Method 107), and life test (Method 108).
