Micro Commercial Components (MCC) has expanded its silicon carbide portfolio with the SIC1065G5M-BP, a 650 V, 10 A silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky Barrier Diode (SBD) designed for high-efficiency power conversion applications. Utilizing advanced Merged PiN Schottky (MPS) technology, the device combines zero reverse recovery, low forward voltage, and high-temperature operation to reduce switching losses and improve system efficiency in industrial and energy applications.

As switching frequencies continue to increase in modern power converters, conventional silicon rectifiers become a significant source of switching losses. The SIC1065G5M-BP addresses this challenge by eliminating reverse recovery current, enabling cleaner, more efficient operation in high-frequency power conversion systems.

The device is particularly well suited for applications where efficiency, thermal performance, and reliability are critical.

The diode is built using Merged PiN Schottky (MPS) technology, combining the low-loss characteristics of a Schottky diode with improved surge current capability.

Key electrical features include:

  • 650 V reverse voltage rating
  • 10 A average forward current
  • Maximum forward voltage of 1.7 V
  • Zero reverse recovery current
  • 60 A non-repetitive surge current capability

The absence of reverse recovery charge significantly reduces switching losses, making the device suitable for high-frequency converter topologies.

The SIC1065G5M-BP supports junction temperatures of up to 175°C, enabling reliable operation in thermally demanding environments while simplifying cooling system design.

Packaged in the industry-standard TO-220AC package, the device provides straightforward heatsink attachment and effective thermal management for higher-power applications.

The new SiC Schottky Barrier Diode is designed for a range of high-efficiency power conversion systems, including:

  • Solar inverters
  • Power factor correction (PFC) circuits
  • Motor drives
  • EV charging infrastructure
  • Industrial power supplies
