Mouser has partnered with onsemi and Würth Elektronik to address the growing solar inverter market.
The growth of the global inverter market is mainly driven by the easy installation of micro and string inverters and an increase in investment in renewable power infrastructure construction. Considerable investment in rural electrification and the renewable energy sector is anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for existing and emerging market players.
onsemi's SiC solutions address the needs for the highest levels of efficiency, reliability, and safety while its boost and inverter PIMs anchor the grid-interface electronics. Würth Elektronik's gate drivers, sensing control, and peripheral power products complete the system.
The onsemi NXH40B120MNQ1 is an EliteSiC PIM comprising a dual full SiC boost stage consisting of three 40mOhm/1200V SiC MOSFETs and three 40A/1200V SiC diodes. The module provides low reverse recovery, fast-switching SiC diodes, a low inductive layout, solderable pins, and an integrated thermistor. This SiC MOSFET module is ideal for solar inverters and UPS.
Using the novel field stop seventh generation technology and the Gen7 Diode in a TO247 three−lead package, the onsemi FGY140T120SWD 1200V 140A Fast Discrete IGBT offers the optimum performance with low switching and conduction losses for high-efficiency operations in applications like Solar, UPS, and energy storage systems.
The Würth Elektronik WE-AGDT high-power auxiliary gate drive transformers provide unipolar and bipolar outputs, making them ideal for powering state-of-the-art SiC MOSFET gate drivers up to 6W of power and IGBT and power MOSFETs.
The WE-CSTLF current sense transformers, also from Würth Elektronik, are specially designed for low frequencies, catering to 50Hz/60Hz applications such as power lines. The WE-CSTLF series uses a laminated core material that effectively handles low frequencies, ensuring optimal performance and durability even in challenging operating conditions.
