Product Description

Wolfspeed CAS530M12BM3 Silicon Carbide Half-Bridge Module

Product Overview

The Wolfspeed CAS530M12BM3 is a 1200 V, 530 A Silicon Carbide (SiC) Half-Bridge Module designed for high-frequency operation with ultra-low losses. It features zero reverse recovery from its diodes and zero turn-off tail current from its MOSFETs, enabling normally-off, fail-safe device operation. The module utilizes a copper baseplate and aluminum nitride insulator for efficient thermal management. Its industry-standard 62 mm footprint allows for system retrofitting and increased system efficiency due to the inherent low switching and conduction losses of SiC technology. Key applications include induction heating, motor drives, renewables, railway auxiliary and traction systems, EV fast charging, and UPS and SMPS.
