1700 V Discrete Silicon Carbide Schottky Diodes

Image that includes both the front and back of the TO-247-2 package used for Wolfspeed's discrete Silicon Carbide power devices including SiC MOSFETs and Schottky diodes.

Wolfspeed 1700 V Discrete Silicon Carbide Schottky Diodes

Wolfspeed 1700 V Silicon Carbide (SiC) Schottky Diodes enable smaller and more efficient power conversion systems. The 1700 V platform is optimized for high-frequency power electronics; including renewable-energy inverters; battery charging systems; and industrial power supply applications.

Compared to silicon-based solutions; Wolfspeed Silicon Carbide technology enables increased system power density; higher switching frequencies; smaller designs; cooler components; reduced size of components like inductors; capacitors; filters & transformers; and overall cost benefits.
