Exxelia Ohmcraft Resistors: Precision Resistors for the World’s Most Advanced Medical Applications.

Designed with precision and reliability at the core, Exxelia Ohmcraft Resistors are the standard in high-performance applications. Their stability, low noise, and high pulse load capability ensure optimal functionality in AEDs, contributing to their life-saving accuracy.

For example, Exxelia Ohmcraft’s high voltage resistors have played a critical role in AED operation for more than 20 years, especially : HVC series, SM series, HVR series, HVD series, and Custom.

- Voltage Ratings to 40 kV (HVD series)

- Resistance Values to 4 TΩ (HVR series)

- Ultra High Stability

- Very Low Noise

- Ratio Tolerances to 0.1% for all series

- TCR to 25 ppm/°C

- TCR Tracking to 5 ppm/°C

- VCR to 1 ppm/V (SM series)

- Custom Configurations

 

Exxelia directorIn an emergency medical situation, reliability is critical—automated external defibrillators must always work and never fail. At Exxelia Ohmcraft, all of our resistors go through rigorous testing to ensure complete reliability. In addition, to maintain their portability, AEDs are manufactured to be as small as possible.

Our proprietary Micropen technology enables us to print surface mount resistors that are high in capability, and small in size, making them perfect for applications of this kind.

INNOVATIVE LOW PASS FILTERS

Low-pass filter solutions are mainly used for EMI suppression in electronics systems. Exxelia Technologies (ex-Eurofarad), part of Exxelia Group, has developed several ranges of miniature filters with different low-pass configuration (C, L, Pi, T, 2xPi, 2xL and 2xT) mainly intended to protect electronic equipment from interferences. Exxelia Technologies produces sophisticated filters assembling Exxelia Group’s manufactured ceramic capacitors (X7R/ NPO) with ferrite inductors or winding cores in a shielding case. This solution’s main benefits are performance, reliability and optimal traceability. Considering a filter in a shielding case implies a good metallic package to insure high shielding performances with attenuation up to 10 GHz. Among options, Exxelia offers glass sealing, steel or kovar package using tin, silver or gold plating treatments to withstand any thermally or mechanically challenged applicaiton. Exxelia offers innovative EMI suppression filter solutions providing great shielding performance including the FC030 feedthrough mounted on shielding enclosure and FCM030 series designed to prevent EMI on printed circuit board. FC030 series is feedthrough filter allowing to prevent not only EMI conduction but also EMI radiation on power supply or data signals designs up to 200V. FC030 insertion loss can be 20dB at 1MHz to reach 70dB up to 10 GHz. FC030 series is extremely performant on low frequencies applications. On the other hand, FC030 can offer very low capacitance values starting from 5pF allowing to protect high bandwidth data signals. Operating temperature from -55C° up to +175C°. FC030 series is ESA qualified.   FCM030 features same design and performances’ as FC030 and is intended for surface mount devices. FCM030 is packaged in full metallic silver plated allowing optimal contact with ground plane that improves the interferences flow to the ground. The series particularly fit for amplifiers, radars, sensitive HMI, accurate measuring.
