All American extends distribution agreement with GeneSiC

Electronic component distributor All American Semiconductor has signed extended its distribution agreement with GeneSiC Semiconductor Inc of Dulles, VA, USA, which develops silicon carbide and silicon-based devices for high-temperature, radiation and power grid applications.

Founded by Dr Ranbir Singh as president in 2004, GeneSiC’s silicon carbide products feature a high operating temperature range, small heat-sink requirements and fast switching speeds. They are also inherently radiation resistant and offer a higher voltage and current capability. The company’s products — which include rectifiers, field-effect transistors (FETs), bipolar devices as well as particle and photonic detectors — are used in a variety of industries, such as aerospace, alternative energy, commercial, industrial and military. Applications include solar inverters, electric vehicles, wind power, medical power supplies, down hole oil drilling and motor drives.

“All American is always looking to provide its customers with the most innovative semiconductor technology,” said Cory Dana, Corporate Product Manager at All American. “We recognize GeneSiC as a leader in the field and are glad to begin distributing their silicon carbide products.”
