Exxelia has announced its participation in the IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition (APEC) 2026, taking place from March 22 to March 26, 2026, at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas, USA.
Exxelia will welcome engineers, designers, and procurement professionals at booth 1150, where it will highlight passive component solutions for demanding power electronics applications.
APEC 2026: Focus on Practical Power Conversion
APEC is one of the leading conferences dedicated to applied power electronics, bringing together engineers, OEMs, researchers, and component manufacturers to address real-world design challenges. The event combines high-level technical sessions, professional education seminars, and industry presentations with a large exhibition area focused on components, subsystems, and complete power conversion solutions.
Every year, APEC attracts thousands of professionals involved in power supplies, DC-DC converters, inverters, motor drives, energy infrastructure, and electrification technologies. For component engineers and purchasing specialists, the exhibition offers a concentrated overview of the latest technologies supporting higher efficiency, power density, and reliability in modern power systems.
Exxelia’s Offer for High-Reliability Power Electronics
At APEC 2026, Exxelia will put a strong emphasis on passive components and magnetics engineered for operation in harsh and mission-critical environments. Building on its heritage as a high-reliability capacitors and magnetics manufacturer, the company targets applications where robustness, lifetime performance, and qualification to stringent standards are essential design parameters.
Exxelia’s portfolio covers a wide power range, from low-power electronics up to high-power conversion systems in the hundreds of kilowatts, enabling designers to source critical passive functions from a single supplier. With multiple design and manufacturing facilities across several continents, the company supports global programs in aviation, transportation, industrial, energy, and space.
Cubisic Capacitors: Compact High-Reliability Aluminum Electrolytics
High Energy Density in Radial Format
One of the key product families Exxelia plans to feature at APEC 2026 is the Cubisic capacitors line, a range of radial aluminum electrolytic capacitors aimed at high-reliability power electronics. These devices offer a combination of high capacitance, compact volume, and mechanical robustness that is particularly attractive for converters, motor drives, and onboard power systems where board space is at a premium.
Thanks to their optimized design and materials, Cubisic capacitors are intended to deliver long operational lifetime and stable performance under elevated temperature and vibration conditions. Typical application areas include aerospace and defense electronics, transportation, and industrial power conversion where designers must balance size, thermal constraints, and strict reliability targets.
Alcon Power Film Capacitors for Demanding Converters
Power Film Technology for High Energy and Robust Performance
Exxelia will also highlight power film capacitors from its Alcon film capacitors portfolio. These film capacitors are designed for use in power conversion systems that require high energy density, low losses, and stable electrical behavior over time and temperature. They are well suited for DC-link, snubber, and filtering functions in inverters, drives, and high-power rectifiers.
The Alcon film capacitors portfolio addresses applications where repetitive high current, voltage transients, and thermal cycling demand a rugged dielectric system and mechanically robust construction. Designers working on industrial drives, renewable energy inverters, railway traction, and other heavy-duty power systems can leverage these capacitors to improve system reliability and efficiency while meeting demanding qualification requirements.
Smart Integrated Magnetics for Compact Power Architectures
Integration of Magnetic Components and Control Functions
A further focus at the Exxelia booth will be its smart integrated magnetics solutions. These custom solutions combine multiple magnetic components and, where applicable, control or sensing functions into a single integrated assembly. The goal is to support compact, high-efficiency power conversion architectures by reducing the footprint, parasitics, and interconnect complexity associated with discrete magnetics.
Originally developed for demanding environments including space power conversion, Exxelia’s smart integrated magnetics approach helps engineers optimize performance parameters such as leakage inductance, thermal behavior, and EMC. By tailoring the design to the specific converter topology and operating conditions, these integrated magnetics can contribute to higher power density and improved reliability in advanced power electronics platforms.
Target Applications and Markets
Exxelia’s presence at APEC 2026 is particularly relevant for engineers and procurement specialists working with passive components in sectors where performance and qualification are critical. Key target markets include:
- Aerospace and aviation electronics, including onboard power conversion and actuation systems
- Defense and security applications requiring ruggedized, long-life passive components
- Space power conversion platforms, where compactness, efficiency, and radiation-hardened design are essential
- Transportation and rail systems, including traction, auxiliary power, and onboard converters
- Industrial and energy infrastructure, covering drives, UPS, renewable energy inverters, and grid-related equipment
By combining high-reliability capacitors, power film capacitors, and advanced magnetics, Exxelia aims to provide a coherent building-block offering for next-generation power systems across these markets.
Global Footprint and Quality Certifications
Exxelia supports its customers through an international industrial footprint with design and manufacturing sites in Europe, North America, Africa, and Asia. This global presence enables close collaboration with OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, as well as supply chain resilience for long-term programs.
All Exxelia sites are certified to ISO9001 and aerospace standards such as EN9100 or AS9100, reflecting the company’s focus on quality management and traceability. With a track record across numerous aviation programs and other mission-critical applications, Exxelia’s passive component and magnetics technologies are already embedded in a wide range of commercial, regional, and business aircraft and related systems.
Meet Exxelia at Booth 1150 in San Antonio
During APEC 2026 in San Antonio, visitors to booth 1150 will be able to discuss new design projects and technology roadmaps with Exxelia’s technical and sales teams. Engineers can explore how Cubisic capacitors, Alcon power film capacitors, and smart integrated magnetics can help them address challenges in efficiency, power density, thermal management, and reliability.
The exhibition is an opportunity for both design and procurement teams to evaluate long-term technology partners for programs ranging from prototype development to large-scale industrialization. Exxelia’s experts will be available to review application requirements, qualification needs, and potential customizations of capacitors or magnetics to meet specific platform constraints.
