element14 has expanded its portfolio of medium-voltage mosfets from Vishay Intertechnology, a world leader in discrete semiconductors; diodes and mosfets, and passive electronic components; resistors, inductors and capacitors. The SiA446DJ is the industry’s first 150 V N-channel mosfet in thermally enhanced PowerPAK® SC-70 package and features the industry’s lowest on-resistance at 10 V in the 2mm by 2mm footprint area.

Marc Grange, Head of Product and Asset Management, element14 Asia-Pacific said, “Vishay’s discrete semiconductors and passive components are extremely popular among engineers for use in consumer electronics, automotive, telecommunications and power supplies. We are delighted to add these products to our comprehensive range of over 36,000 Vishay products readily available for our customers who require the most innovative solutions for their product development.”

The SiA446DJ is suited for a wide range of space-constrained applications and has been designed to increase efficiency by reducing conduction and switching losses. It extends the portfolio which includes the 100 V SiA416DJ in the PowerPAK SC-70 and the 100 V SiB456DK in the PowerPAK SC-75, suited for use in :

·         isolated DC/DC converters

·         boost converters in LED backlighting

·         synchronous rectification and load switching for power management applications in Power over Ethernet (PoE) PD switches, telecom DC/DC bricks, and portable electronic devices
