Farnell offers infrastructure products from onsemi
Designed to shorten development times while exceeding power density norms and reducing power loss the SiC (silicon carbide) EliteSiC products have reduced switching losses under real-world conditions compared to products from competitors, says Farnell.

As the industry moves to accelerate the transition to decarbonisation, there is a shift in demand towards installing energy infrastructure systems featuring DC fast chargers (DCFC), solar inverters and battery energy storage systems (BESS).

Adopting SiC-based power stages is critical in reducing power losses, increasing power density and reducing cooling costs, advises the distributor.  

Typical applications for onsemi EliteSiC devices include UPS, DC/DC converters, boost inverters, solar inverters, electric vehicle charging stations and industrial power systems. These devices are Pb−free, halide free and RoHS-compliant.

Farnell now stocks the EliteSiC Power, single N-channel with typical low gate charge of 56nC and low effective output capacitance (typically 79pF) and a junction temperature of 175°C.

There is also the EliteSiC MOSFET NXH006P120MNF2  which consists of a 6m /1200V SiC MOSFET half bridge and a thermistor in an F2 package. It is available with or without pre−applied thermal interface material (TIM) and solderable or press−fit pins.

Adrian Cotterill, global product segment leader, transistors and WBG at Farnell, said: “This is a key addition to Farnell’s portfolio that will ensure energy infrastructure systems are developed using the highest calibre, best-of-breed components . . . highly optimised SiC products [which] meet the latest performance requirements of energy infrastructure end applications.”
