Through-Hole SiC MOSFETs Inspire Direct Cooling

Direct-cooled thermal management via a reflow-compatible, isolated thermal pad significantly improves power density, reliability, and efficiency.

Providing direct-cooled thermal management via a reflow-compatible, thermal pad, Navitas Semiconductor's UHV‑TO‑247‑4‑ISO-packaged power semiconductors offer significantly improved power density, reliability, and efficiency. Its integrated aluminum-nitride, substrate-based isolation reduces electromagnetic coupling, allowing for faster switching and lower EMI management.

With more than 12-mm pin-to-pin creepage and over 6,000 V of isolation, the package is purpose‑built for 1,200- to 3,300-V GeneSiC SiC MOSFETs. It delivers module‑like performance in a compact discrete form factor, eliminating the need for external high-voltage isolation while improving thermal and EMI performance.

Equipped with an isolated, reflow-compatible thermal pad, the package can be mounted directly to liquid- or air-cooled heatsinks for up to 150% increased power-dissipation capability. It's compatible with the TO‑247‑4 form factor and lead geometry, easing system integration with no redesign for superior performance and lower total system cost.
