Richardson Electronics, Ltd. announced a global technology partner agreement with Pakal Technologies, Inc., an innovator in silicon power semiconductor solutions. This partnership will enable Richardson Electronics to supply customers with Pakal’s advanced 650V and 1200V silicon-based power switches.
Pakal Technologies has developed the Insulated Gate Turn-Off Thyristor (IGTO(t)) structure, which is the first new high-voltage silicon power semiconductor released in 40 years. The IGTO(t) offers up to 30% lower conduction losses compared to modern IGBTs, along with high-frequency switching and improved thermal performance at cost-effective silicon pricing.
This game-changing component is ideal for applications in electric vehicles (EVs), renewable energy systems, welding, solar, robotics, induction heating, and industrial power conversion. Initial commercial shipments of Pakal’s 650V and 1200V IGTO(t) products are already underway, positioning Richardson Electronics to deliver advanced power conversion solutions to a broad range of high-growth markets.
