Overview

Passive Components represent more than 80% of the EEE parts used in spacecraft. Therefore, they represent a major concern for space applications. In recent years, the development of Passive Components has been driven by reliability, performances, new functionalities, mass and volume saving and cost reduction.

 

Space Passive Component Days (SPCD) international Symposium

The SPCD international Symposium is the premier technical conference dedicated to Passive components for space applications. It is an exceptional venue to learn more about the latest advances in this field and meet recognized experts from industry, academia and agencies.

 

Aim of the SPCD symposium is to promote the discussion of recent developments and trends and to encourage the exchange of technical expertise and information covering a broad range of EEE passive components for space applications:

 

Capacitors

Power dividers & Couplers

Circulators & Isolators

Relays & Switches

Connectors & Cable assemblies

Resistors 

Crystals & Resonators

RF Switches & Phase shifters

Fuses

SAW Devices 

Heaters

Supercapacitors    

Inductors & Transformers

Thermal Sensors & Thermistors

Loads & Attenuators

Thermoelectric Coolers

Oscillators

Thermostats

Piezo element

Wires & Cables


The symposium consists of both invited and submitted papers covering the following topics :

  • Application, Trends and Needs

  • Commercial Off-The-Shelf  (COTS)

  • Evaluation & Qualification

  • Lessons Learned and In-flight Experiences

  • Materials and Processes

  • New Developments

  • Normative System & Standards

  • Procurement, Distribution

  • Technology Roadmaps

  • Test, Reliability and Evaluation for space
