CAB006M12GM3T

Overview

The Wolfspeed CAB006M12GM3T is a baseplate-less Silicon Carbide (SiC) half-bridge power module rated for 1200 V drain-source voltage and 6 mΩ on-state resistance. It features press-fit pins for assembly and includes pre-applied phase change thermal interface material. The module supports a continuous drain current of 200 A at a heatsink temperature of 50 °C, with a maximum virtual junction temperature of 175 °C. Key electrical parameters include an internal gate resistance of 1.1 Ω, input capacitance of 20.4 nF, and a junction-to-heatsink thermal resistance of 0.234 °C/W.

Feature Summary

• Fully SiC MOSFET-based architecture providing ultra-low conduction and switching losses
• Press-fit pin configuration designed to facilitate easy mechanical assembly
• Zero turn-off tail current characteristic inherent to the MOSFET technology
• Compliance with UL STD 1557 standards for electrically isolated semiconductor devices

Applications

• DC-DC Converters
• High-Efficiency Converters and Inverters
• Renewable Energy Systems
• Smart-Grid and Grid-Tied Distributed Generation
• Electric Vehicle Chargers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix when purchasing components. The suffix 'T' indicates that the module includes pre-applied phase change thermal interface material, whereas the non-suffixed version does not. Confirming this distinction is essential to ensure the correct thermal management specifications are met for the intended application design.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on its 1200 V blocking capability and low on-resistance for high-efficiency power conversion. Consider the 200 A continuous current rating relative to the heatsink temperature requirements. The press-fit mounting style requires compatible PCB or busbar structures, and the inclusion of pre-applied TIM simplifies the thermal interface preparation process during system integration.
