FAQ
The GCM100M12 is specifically designed for applications where space and efficiency are critical. Its compact package and low switching losses make it ideal for consumer electronics where heat dissipation and PCB space are limited. The module's robust design ensures reliable operation in varying environmental conditions.
For most consumer applications, natural convection cooling is sufficient. For higher power applications, forced air cooling may be required. The module's thermal resistance is 0.4°C/W (junction to case), allowing for effective heat dissipation with proper heatsink design.
Compared to silicon MOSFETs, the GCM100M12 offers significantly lower switching losses and higher switching frequencies. This results in higher efficiency and smaller magnetic components, enabling more compact designs. The SiC technology also provides better thermal performance and higher power density.
