Exxelia is proud to announce its participation in the upcoming SPCD (Space Passive Component Days) on October 14, 2024, in Noordwijk, Netherlands. Exxelia Magnetic Expert & Space Product Manager will deliver a key conference on “Improvement knowledge of thermal behavior of space qualified SMD power inductors CCM and SESI component families.”
This presentation will build upon the work shared during the 2022 SPCD event, where Exxelia introduced promising results related to the thermal behavior of its CCM and SESI product families.
During the 2022 session, Exxelia showcased its expertise by demonstrating the thermal performance of its space-qualified components. The company presented a comprehensive study on the characterization of Rth (thermal resistance) for CCM and SESI SMD power inductor components using a specialized measurement bench.
This valuable insight opened new perspectives on the reliability of passive components under extreme space conditions. At SPCD 2024, Exxelia will delve deeper into these findings and explore the latest advancements in this critical field.
But the group being an industrial manufacturer, its contributions to space technology extend far beyond conferences. The company’s components play vital roles in a wide range of critical space systems. From launchers to satellite platforms, payloads, antennas, star trackers, thrusters, and exploration vehicles, Exxelia’s innovative passive components are present in numerous high-stakes space missions. Notably, the CCM and SESI component families have been used in some of the most prestigious space projects.
For instance, Exxelia’s components are found in the ESA’s Ariane 6 launch vehicle, ensuring the success of Europe’s next-generation space exploration missions. In NASA’s Perseverance rover, which is currently exploring the Martian surface, Exxelia’s technologies contribute to the rover’s robust and reliable performance. Similarly, the Euclid satellite, a groundbreaking ESA mission designed to explore the dark universe, relies on Exxelia components to function efficiently in the harsh environment of space.
These three projects share a common element: the integration of Exxelia’s CCM and SESI components, whose thermal behavior will be analyzed at Exxelia’s next talk at the SPCD conference in Noordwijk (NL).
