Wolfspeed CAS175M12BM3 175 Amp Silicon Carbide Module with Industry Standard 62 Millimeter Footprint
Product Overview
The CAS175M12BM3 is a 1200 V, 175 A Silicon Carbide Half-Bridge Module designed for high-frequency operation with ultra-low losses. It features zero reverse recovery from diodes and zero turn-off tail current from MOSFETs, offering normally-off, fail-safe device operation. The module utilizes a copper baseplate and aluminum nitride insulator, and its industry-standard 62 mm footprint enables system retrofitting. Key applications include induction heating, motor drives, renewables, railway auxiliary & traction, EV fast charging, and UPS and SMPS systems. The 62 mm form factor enhances system efficiency by leveraging the low switching and conduction losses of Silicon Carbide technology.
