Mitsubishi Electric has unveiled full and hybrid SiC SLIMDIP samples.
Takeaway Points
- Mitsubishi Electric will start shipping samples of two new SLIMDIP series power semiconductor modules on April 22.
- From May 6 to 8, the two samples will be exhibited at Power Conversion Intelligent Motion (PCIM) Expo & Conference 2025 in Nuremberg, Germany.
- On March 19, 2025, Mitsubishi Electric set up FA business headquarters in China.
The Two Samples
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation said on Tuesday that it will begin shipping samples of two new SLIMDIP series power semiconductor modules for room air conditioners and other home appliances: the Full SiC (silicon carbide) SLIMDIP (PSF15SG1G6) and the Hybrid SiC SLIMDIP (PSH15SG1G6) on April 22. Both modules, the first SiC versions in the company’s SLIMDIP series of compact, terminal-optimized modules, achieve excellent output and power loss reduction for energy savings in small- to large-capacity appliances.
The two samples will be exhibited at Power Conversion Intelligent Motion (PCIM) Expo & Conference 2025 in Nuremberg, Germany, from May 6 to 8, as well as at trade shows in Japan, China, and other countries, Mitsubishi added.
The new SLIMDIP series
According to the report, the company’s newly developed silicon carbide metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (SiCMOSFET) chip is included in both new SLIMDIP packages.
With these two new modules as well as existing Si-based RC-IGBT SLIMDIP modules, the SLIMDIP series now offers three options for use in inverter boards of appliances such as room air conditioners, each one suited to specific electrical capacity and performance needs, but all offered in the same package to help reduce the burden of designing inverter substrates, the report stated.
About the Product Features
The company said that the series’ first SiC-MOSFET contributes to higher output for large-capacity inverters in appliances; the full SiC SLIMDIP module reduces power loss by 79 percent for more energy-efficient appliances; and the hybrid SiC SLIMDIP module reduces power loss by 47 percent thanks to SiC-MOSFET and RC-IGBT.
Mitsubishi Electric to Set Up FA Business Headquarters in China
On March 19, 2025, Mitsubishi Electric announced that it will establish Mitsubishi Electric Intelligent Manufacturing Technology (China) Group Co., Ltd. in Suzhou, China, a key region for its factory automation (FA) systems business, on April 1.
Based on the report, the new company will oversee product planning, development, manufacturing, and sales, with the aim to start autonomous business operations to raise competitiveness by swiftly responding to different customer needs in the fast-changing Chinese market.
Leveraging the new company’s highly agile autonomous management, Mitsubishi Electric plans to start local product planning and development, a comprehensive local supply chain, and securing and developing talent to ensure faster responses to the diversifying needs of local industrial customers, Mitsubishi said.
