Silicon carbide (SiC) technology is becoming increasingly popular among electronics manufacturers, and now BASiC Semiconductor, a leading producer of SiC-based components, is available in the TME catalogue. These products, known for their exceptional performance in high-voltage and energy-efficient applications, can be purchased directly from TME’s warehouses, ensuring quick and convenient shipping. Below is a quick overview of the BASiC Semiconductor solutions now offered through TME.

SiC Technology in Semiconductors 

Silicon carbide allows for the creation of components with superior electrical performance, thanks to a band gap three times wider than silicon, leading to higher electric field strength. SiC technology enables connectors to handle high voltages (up to several kV) while maintaining low resistance, which reduces energy loss and heat generation.

Due to these advantages, SiC components are widely used in applications such as the energy sector (especially in renewable energy), high-current control systems (for machine and vehicle drives), lighting control, automation, industrial equipment, and transistor modules. If you’re seeking solutions for these areas, BASiC Semiconductor’s product lineup offers a range of suitable options.

Product Overview

BASiC Semiconductor’s main offerings include essential semiconductor components like diodes and transistors. Their rectifier and Schottky diodes have reverse voltage ratings up to 1.2 kV and can handle forward currents up to 60 A in certain models. These components can tolerate surge currents up to 340 A and are available in single and double configurations, housed in TO-220 or TO-247 packages. BASiC transistors are similarly robust, with some models capable of controlling currents as high as 75 A, with quick turn-on times (minimum 54 ns).

Additionally, the BASiC Semiconductor selection at TME includes two types of ICs: PMICs and gate controllers. The PMICs are voltage regulators based on PWM signal generation at 500 kHz, providing up to 1 A of current. The gate controllers come in 1- and 2-channel variants, capable of controlling loads with currents ranging from -6…4 A to 0…10 A, making them ideal for motor and actuator control. These components are housed in compact SMD packages, helping to miniaturize circuits.
