Navitas and Richardson Electronics, Ltd. Expand Technology Partnership to EMEA for Next-Gen Silicon Carbide Power Devices

LAFOX, Ill. and TORRANCE, Calif., Nov. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Richardson Electronics, Ltd. (Nasdaq: RELL) and Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS) announced today an expanded distribution partnership for next-gen silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).

Navitas is the only pure-play, next-generation power-semiconductor company and industry leader in next-generation GeneSiC™ silicon carbide (SiC) and GaNFast™ gallium nitride (GaN) power semiconductors. Enabled by 20 years of SiC innovation leadership, GeneSiC proprietary ‘ trench-assisted planar’ technology provides world-leading performance over temperature, delivering high-speed, cool-running operation for high-power, high-reliability applications.

Richardson Electronics, Ltd. will continue to focus on the GeneSiC product line, expanding from North America into EMEA. This includes Navitas’ latest family of Gen-3 Fast MOSFETs, delivering a high-speed, cool-running performance that ensures  up to 25°C lower case temperatures and up to 3x longer life than alternative SiC products. This enables unprecedented, industry-leading levels of performance, robustness, and quality.

With an entire portfolio from 650V to 6,500V, including bare die for those requiring further flexibility in their engineered solutions, these devices are ideal for higher power applications, including but not limited to, renewable energy and storage, motor drives, induction heating and welding, battery charging, and high voltage DC-DC conversion.

“As a global company and technology provider for power management products and applications, Richardson Electronics is very excited to bring Navitas products to EMEA,” said Greg Peloquin, Executive Vice President and General Manager of  Power & Microwave Technologies and  Green Energy Solutions groups. “Expanding our relationship shows our dedication to supporting Navitas products and offering disruptive technology to meet our customers’ design needs.”

“We are excited to partner with Richardson Electronics to support our expanding silicon carbide portfolio beyond the Americas into the EMEA region,” said David Carroll, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales at Navitas. “Richardson Electronics provides excellent technical and sales support and has a strong reach within our key focus markets. We are looking forward to expanding our customer base in EMEA.”
