Wolfspeed Inc (NYSE:WOLF) edged up 2.1% in premarket trading on Monday after the company introduced a new line of 1200V silicon carbide (SiC) six-pack power modules aimed at high-power inverter applications.
The latest devices, built on Wolfspeed’s Gen 4 SiC MOSFET platform, are designed to deliver a major performance boost, offering triple the power cycling capability at operating temperature versus rival products and about 15% higher inverter current capacity within a standard module footprint.
According to the company, the modules use advanced packaging features such as sintered die attach, epoxy encapsulation, and copper clip interconnects. They also deliver a 22% improvement in RDS(ON) at 125°C compared with the prior generation, while cutting turn-on energy by roughly 60% across operating temperatures.
“These modules provide a means for electric mobility OEMs to take a quantum leap forward in technology,” said Dr. Cengiz Balkas, Wolfspeed Chief Business Officer. He added that the new products deliver “the reliability, efficiency, and power density that heavy-duty, construction and agricultural vehicles demand.”
Wolfspeed emphasized that the industry-standard package format is intended to simplify adoption, allowing customers to swap the modules into existing designs as a direct replacement for IGBT-based solutions without extensive re-engineering.
Guy Moxey, Vice President and General Manager for Industrial and Energy, noted that the “enhanced power cycling capabilities and efficiency translate directly to reduced maintenance costs, extended vehicle operational life, and improved energy efficiency.”
The new 1200V SiC six-pack modules are already available for customer sampling, with broad distributor availability targeted for early 2026.
