Finding a part

Let's explore how to find electronic components containing a SiC MOSFET using the search engine. Simply enter the code "STP80N240K6" into the search bar, and the appropriate result will be displayed.

Once you've found the desired component, clicking on the "Part Number" will redirect you to a comprehensive component sheet. This sheet provides you with essential information such as general data, the datasheet, container attributes, and a list of equivalent components. To access the official datasheet, simply click on the PDF document symbol. The datasheet will be displayed on the screen, allowing you to download and print it if needed. Additionally, selecting "Manufacturer" will provide you with information about the manufacturer, along with a direct link to their official website.

During your search for a specific electronic component, you will come across two types of fundamental information:

Category: This category classification helps you understand the grouping or classification of the component. It provides a broader context and aids in organizing your search results.

ROHS: The RoHS Directive (2002/95/EC) is a European Community law that regulates the usage of certain hazardous compounds in the production of electrical and electronic equipment. Enacted in February 2003, it restricts the use of specific substances. This information is particularly crucial for designers who require certification or those utilizing newly developed electronic components.

By considering these basic pieces of information, you can make informed decisions during your design process, ensuring compliance and the use of suitable components.
