Magnetics handle the harsh environments of space

Fiber optics collect the light om the celestial bodies. The extremely precise alignment of each of the fibers is performed by 500 small robots, which are driven by FAULHABER motors.

The CCM (Chameleon Concept Magnetics) family of products withstand the harsh environments of aerospace and particularly of space applications. CCM technology is a response to the growing interest of electronic engineers for inductors and transformers with multiple outputs, high power density, and reduced footprints. These ‘chameleon-like’ products can be either an inductor or a transformer depending on the inductor ranges and complement the existing SESI and TT product families.

The CCM product family currently consists of five sizes, CCM4/5/6 and CCM20/25, allowing optimized component design in a pick-and-place surface mount (SMD) package. Through-hole (TH) packages are also available upon request. The maximum transferable power in the CCM25 is about 200 W, depending on the operating conditions of the transformer. The CCM30 is currently under development and this model would approach 350 W. The CCM series is flexible with a number of pin options available, from 2×6 pins for the smallest package, up to 2×10. Qualified for aeronautic and space applications, the CCM product line is robust. The monolithic design provides high mechanical performance, proven by the successfully testing in accordance with MIL-STD-202 (methods 213 and 204).

CCM transformers and inductors can operate over a wide temperature range with a minimal operating temperature of -55°C. The standard thermal grade of the technology is 140°C. Thanks to the technology design, the thermal resistance is 30% lower than standard industrial components. The epoxy molding that protects the winding ensures a lower temperature gradient and a better heat dissipation.

Each unit is thoroughly tested with a dielectric withstanding strength of 1,500 VAC. Component materials meet UL 94-V0 rating. Thermal resistance data is available for each package size. The CMM products are manufactured to MIL-STD-981.
