Digi-Key to distribute GeneSiC products
The electronic component distributor will supply the firm's silicon carbide power devices globally
Digi-Key Corporation has signed an agreement to distribute GeneSiC Semiconductor’s power electronic products based on SiC technologies.
Founded in 2004, GeneSiC Semiconductor's products play a key role in conserving energy in numerous high power systems, running faster, cooler, and more efficiently. This efficiency makes these cutting-edge SiC products ideal for increasing efficiency in energy harvesting applications.
”Digi-Key was the missing piece to our distribution program. This agreement enhances GeneSiC Semiconductor’s ability to seed the market with our brand of Silicon Carbide High Voltage, High Temperature, and first of their kind (1N8XX SiC Diode/2N76XX SiC Transistors) Mil-Standard products,” says Michael DiGangi, Chief Business Development Officer at GeneSiC Semiconductor.
GeneSiC has one the largest portfolios of commercial SiC diodes, offering SiC switches and the Super Junction Transistor (SJT). These devices are aimed at revolutionising IGBT and FET designs for engineers who are looking for higher performance.
The company is also committed to a portfolio of silicon, high-voltage rectifier products with one of the best forward voltages in the market today. While others have abandoned this market, GeneSiC Semiconductor has been investing in new and exciting products.
“We are excited to add GeneSiC Semiconductor to our expansive line card,” says Mark Zack, Vice President, Global Semiconductor Product at Digi-Key. “Adding suppliers as committed to innovation as GeneSiC Semiconductor affirms our commitment to providing the newest, state-of-the-art products to our customers.”
GeneSiC's broad portfolio of efficient, high-performance products is available for purchase on the Digi-Key website.
