Onsemi has announced that its EliteSiC family of silicon carbide (SiC) power modules has been selected for Kia’s EV6 GT model. According to the company, its high-power-density SiC power module delivers innovative packaging technology to minimize parasitic losses and thermal resistance while offering robust package reliability. This leads to reduced power losses associated with DC to AC conversion along with reduced size and weight for the traction inverter.
