Infineon Technologies AG has unveiled EasyPACK™ S, a new compact power module and packaging concept developed to address growing demand for higher power density in space-constrained applications. Introduced at PCIM Europe 2026, the new platform is designed for applications such as electric vehicle onboard chargers and power supplies for AI data centers, where compact size, thermal performance, and efficiency are critical requirements.
EasyPACK S features a package height of just 5.6 mm and a footprint of approximately 33 × 36 mm², enabling significant system miniaturization while maintaining reliable thermal performance and reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI). The first modules in the new package family integrate Infineon’s CoolSiC™ MOSFET 1200 V Generation 2 technology, as well as 1200 V IGBT4 and IGBT7 devices.
The new module platform has been qualified according to the latest industrial and automotive standards. By incorporating Infineon’s .XT interconnection technology, EasyPACK S delivers enhanced reliability and extended operational lifetime. An integrated direct bonded copper (DBC) substrate provides stable thermal characteristics and uniform temperature distribution across the module.
Infineon has also implemented a new plastic material and silicone gel, allowing the modules to support continuous operating junction temperatures of up to Tvj(op) = 175°C. In addition, PressFIT pin technology doubles current-carrying capability while simplifying PCB assembly.
The package has been engineered to support automated manufacturing processes through features such as defined gripping areas, alignment holes, and reduced pin-to-pin tolerances. These design elements help streamline production while reducing manufacturing time and cost.
EasyPACK S has been developed as a scalable platform capable of supporting future silicon carbide and gallium nitride power devices while meeting demanding lifetime and reliability requirements. The platform architecture offers flexibility across semiconductor technologies, chip configurations, topologies, and power classes, enabling designers to optimize performance and accelerate product development.
The first EasyPACK S modules incorporating CoolSiC MOSFET G2 and IGBT4 technologies are scheduled to become available in July. The products are being showcased at Infineon’s booth during PCIM Europe 2026 in Nuremberg.

Many industrial applications today are transitioning to higher power levels with minimized power losses, which can be achieved through increased DC link voltage. Infineon Technologies AG addresses this challenge by introducing the CoolSiC™ Schottky diode 2000 V G5, the first discrete silicon carbide diode on the market with a breakdown voltage of 2000 V. The product family is suitable for applications with DC link voltages up to 1500 VDC and offers current ratings from 10 to 80 A. This makes it ideal for higher DC link voltage applications such as in solar and EV charging applications.
The product family comes in a TO-247PLUS-4-HCC package, with 14 mm creepage and 5.4 mm clearance distance. This, together with a current rating of up to 80 A, enables a significantly higher power density. It allows developers to achieve higher power levels in their applications with only half the component count of 1200 V solutions. This simplifies the overall design and enables a smooth transition from multi-level topologies to 2-level topologies.
In addition, the CoolSiC Schottky diode 2000V G5 utilizes the .XT interconnection technology that leads to significantly lower thermal resistance and impedance, enabling better heat management. Furthermore, the robustness against humidity has been demonstrated in HV-H3TRB reliability tests. The diodes exhibit neither reverse recovery current nor forward recovery and feature a low forward voltage, ensuring enhanced system performance.
The 2000 V diode family is a perfect match for the CoolSiC MOSFETs 2000 V in the TO-247Plus-4 HCC package that Infineon introduced in spring 2024. The CoolSiC diodes 2000 V portfolio will be extended by offering them in the TO-247-2 package, which will be available in December 2024. A matching gate driver portfolio is also available for the CoolSiC MOSFETs 2000 V.
