Clean Chimneys for Santa Claus – Power Modules for Clean Technologies in Home Appliances

At Christmas time, we love to think back to the magical images of our childhood: Santa Claus coming down the chimney at night to deliver gifts. But how romantic is this idea really?

In the past, homes were often heated by the fireplace – and the chimney was full of soot, anything but a pleasant path for Santa.

Today, the world looks different: heat pumps equipped with efficient power semiconductor modules provide cozy warmth without emissions. That’s good news not only for Santa Claus but also for the environment.

Mitsubishi Electric Europe – Semiconductor supports this transition toward greater energy efficiency and climate neutrality: With efficient Si and SiC power semiconductors from the DIPIPM family, we enable sustainable technologies – not only in heat pumps but also in many other applications:

  • Air conditioners
  • Washing machines and dryers
  • Low-power general purpose inverters
  • Low-power servo drives
  • Low-power pump and fan drives

  • Experience the Future of Power Conversion in Home Appliances with Hybrid SiC SLIMDIP and Full SiC SLIMDIP

    Increasing environmental concerns as well as cost of energy make reduction of power consumption a critical challenge. Consequently, demand for high-efficiency power semiconductor devices in consumer applications is rising rapidly. To meet these requirements, Mitsubishi Electric has developed two new SLIMDIP IPM one of which is Hybrid SiC SLIMDIP and the other being Full SiC SLIMDIP.

  • Mitsubishi Electric to Ship Full-SiC and Hybrid-SiC SLIMDIP Samples

    TOKYO, April 15, 2025 – Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today that it will begin shipping samples of two new SLIMDIP series power semiconductor modules for room air conditioners and other home appliances, the Full SiC (silicon carbide) SLIMDIP (PSF15SG1G6) and the Hybrid SiC SLIMDIP (PSH15SG1G6), on April 22. Both modules, the first SiC versions in the company’s SLIMDIP series of compact, terminal-optimized modules, achieve excellent output and power loss reduction for energy savings in small- to large-capacity appliances. They will be exhibited at Power Conversion Intelligent Motion (PCIM) Expo & Conference 2025 in Nuremberg, Germany from May 6 to 8, as well as trade shows in Japan, China and other countries.
