Exxelia aerospace Capacitors

Allied International first introduced Eurofarad and Firadec capacitors to North America in 2001. We made a joint sales call to GE Niskayuna  with a  Eurofarad engineer on September 10, 2001, right before 9/11.  Today Allied International is the most experienced and only exclusively Exxelia franchised Distributor in North America. As an Exxelia distributor our MOQ are lower than OEM.  We know Exxelia: the product lines and the people.  We can get you the fastest answers, best prices and delivery, because Exxelia is a major part of our business.  We will help you find a custom solution if necessary. Don’t waste your time on the big box giant distributors. The giant distributors are the right source for passive components manufactured in the millions or hundreds of thousands which are stocked and sold robotically, but they are not geared to supporting niche market relatively low volume high rel passives manufactured on demand. We are.

Exxelia factories in France, USA, Morocco, Vietnam and India  make passive components including capacitors, filters, position sensors, slip rings and wound magnetics.  Rather than high volume markets like automotive and consumer electronics, Exxelia is focused on  specific demanding industrial applications. Aviation, defense, space, medical, railway, oil & gas and telecommunications industries rely on Exxelia filters, capacitors and wound magnetic components for energy storage, power electronics, power generation and signal filtering. Grouped under the Exxelia brand as the Capacitor GBU are former Eurofarad film and ceramic capacitors, Firadec Tantalum capacitors, SIC SAFCO aluminum electrolytic capacitors, Dearborn Electronics film capacitors and  Temex microwave ceramic capacitors, The Exxelia magnetics GBU incorporates the former  , Microspire  and N’ERGY in France, Microspire in Morocco, along with RAF Tabtronics and De Young in the USA. Magnetics products include custom and off the shelf low, medium and high power transformers, inductors, chokes , rotors and stators.

STACKED FILM CAPACITOR

BREAKTHROUGH: STACKED FILM CAPACITORS

EXXELIA are world leaders in high reliabity  film capacitors qualified  by the European Space Agency. Exxelia conventional film capacitors like all other makes are fabricated by winding two or more layers of dielectric film and electrodes.The electrodes are applied by evaporation under vacuum on the dielectric (metallized film capacitors) or consist of separate metal foils ( film-foil capacitors). Dielctrics used by Exxelia are Plastic Films such as Polycarbonate, P.P.S., Polyester (P.E.T., P.E.N.), Polypropylene, Polystyrene, Teflon® as well as reconstututed Mica.

The breakthrough is that for the first time EXXELIA has figured out how to stack the layers of elctrode and film instead of winding. This process yields significant advantages in terms of capacitance density, volume and weight while losing none of the advantages of film technology. The graphic highlights the significant benefits.

  • Denser, smaller, lighter than X7R MLCC, PP film , or PET film
  • MML : Miniature Micro-Layer is a breakthrough in film capacitor design
  • Stacked layers of polymer film instead of wound film construction
  • 60 % reduction in size vs conventional film capacitors
  • Operating tmperature up to 140 C
  • Self healing, does not need to be derated like ceramic MLCC

Buy  RF and Microwave High-Q Capacitors, Tuning Elements, Dielectric Resonators and Ferrites from Allied International, franchised Exxelia Temex distributor. Compare our price and delivery against comparable capacitors from ATC and PP.

 

Operating frequencies in wireless communications have shifted towards high frequency band, and thus frequencies higher than 1 GHz are now commonly utilized. In addition, the microwave frequency spectrum becoming severely crowded and sub-divided into many different frequency bands, designers are systematically looking for resonators giving them a narrow bandwidth with smaller size. But selecting the right dielectric material for a given microwave application is a difficult challenge.
EXXELIA TEMEX, being one of only a few manufacturers producing its own raw materials, is definitely the right partner to support designers at the early stage of development.
