Stock market today: S&P 500 closes lower amid caution ahead of Fed decision
Investing.com -- Vishay Intertechnology Inc (NYSE:VSH) stock climbed 3.2% Wednesday after the company introduced two new 1200 V silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET power modules designed for automotive, energy, industrial, and telecom applications.
The new VS-MPY038P120 and VS-MPX075P120 power modules integrate Vishay’s latest generation SiC MOSFETs with temperature sensing capabilities and fast intrinsic SiC diodes with low reverse recovery. These features help reduce switching losses and increase efficiency across various applications including solar inverters, EV chargers, motor drives, and telecom power supplies.
Both modules utilize a rugged transfer mold construction in the low profile MAACPAK PressFit package, which the company claims allows for longer product lifecycles compared to legacy solutions while improving thermal resistance. The modules’ design also reduces parasitic inductance and EMI while saving space.
The VS-MPY038P120 offers a full-bridge inverter topology with 38 mΩ on-resistance and 35 A continuous drain current at +80°C, while the VS-MPX075P120 features a three-phase inverter topology with 75 mΩ on-resistance and 18 A continuous drain current. Both devices can operate at junction temperatures up to +175°C.
Vishay indicated that samples and production quantities of both power modules are available now, with lead times of 13 weeks. The products are RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, addressing environmental concerns in electronics manufacturing.
The positive market reaction suggests investors view the new product launch as potentially beneficial for Vishay’s competitive positioning in the growing power semiconductor market.
