Innovative packages that push the limits of SiC

It’s Your Choice

Semikron Danfoss introduces a range of power modules and IPMs, equipped with the latest 2kV SiC technology. The SEMITOP E2, SEMITRANS 3, and SEMITRANS 20 enable flexible converter development.

The SKiiP 4 SiC integrates power modules, driver, current sensors and heatsink in a single, high-power unit. Whether you prefer a standard package or a ready-to-use solution, it’s your choice.

High power applications

With optimum electrical performance

The SEMITRANS 20 package is now released for serial production. This new industrial standard high-power module simplifies high-voltage inverter designs for applications like solar, wind, energy storage and drives. 

Its reliable design provides sufficient margin for high-voltage inverters in 2- and 3-level topologies. The superior switching performance allows for easy paralleling of multiple modules, ensuring uniform current distribution and well-behaved voltage waveforms.

At the Heart of E-Mobility

Decarbonizing the transport sector
At the Heart of E-Mobility

Today, over 24% of global CO₂ emissions originate from the transportation sector. As e-mobility continues to grow, cities are becoming more livable and we’re making real progress in the fight against climate change.

With more than 20 years of experience in e-mobility applications, we understand what it takes to build efficient and reliable electric drivetrains. Our power modules are a key differentiator, helping to unlock the full potential of semiconductor technology.

For the truck and bus market, we offer complete SKAI converter systems. Our silicon carbide and silicon-based SKAI HV converters set new standards in power density, durability, and robustness.

eMPack M

The Future of High-Performance Power Modules

As electric mobility continues to advance, the need for high-performance power modules becomes increasingly important. The eMPack M offers SiC and IGBT options, providing exceptional power density and efficiency in an ultra-compact design. Designed for e-mobility applications like electric vehicles, it meets the evolving demands of next-gen drive systems.

The eMPack M covers a improved range of performance and different power outputs, with a more compact size and higher power density compared to the standard eMPack, contributing to the future of e-mobility.
