RFMW, Powerex Sign Distribution Deal for High-Power Mission-Critical Semiconductors
March 24, 2026 | BUSINESS WIREEstimated reading time: 1 minute
RFMW, a Division of Exponential Technology Group, Inc., a premier distributor of RF, microwave, and power management and conversion components, announced a new distribution agreement with Powerex Inc., a leading supplier of discrete devices, modules, and integrated high-power semiconductor solutions. This partnership expands RFMW’s portfolio with Powerex’s extensive range of rectifiers, thyristors, IGBTs, SiC modules, and custom power assemblies designed for demanding high-power applications.
The Powerex portfolio includes rectifiers, SCRs, and thyristors with voltage ratings up to 11 kV and current capabilities up to 8,000A, as well as IGBT and HVIGBT modules rated up to 6.5 kV and 1200A. The company also offers SiC MOSFET modules up to 10 kV / 15 kV and 900A, Si/SiC hybrid modules up to 1.2 kV and 400A, and gate drivers for both IGBT and SiC modules. In addition, Powerex supports custom module development and integrated power assemblies backed by extensive reliability testing and design capabilities, including electrical and burn-in testing, environmental and mechanical validation, 3D CAD modeling, thermal analysis, and simulation.
Powerex solutions serve a wide range of industries, including military and defense, aviation, traction and transportation, motor control, medical power systems, uninterruptible power supplies, welding, induction heating, and renewable energy.
“Powerex fills an important gap in our product portfolio for high-power semiconductor solutions,” said Joel Levine, President of RFMW. “Their long history of reliable performance in mission critical applications and their vertically integrated U.S. manufacturing capability make them a strong addition to our supplier lineup. Powerex products align well with RFMW’s block diagram strategy and complement many of the power solutions already available through our line card.”
Under this agreement, RFMW will promote and distribute Powerex standard and custom power semiconductor solutions, providing customers with access to advanced high-power devices supported by RFMW’s technically driven global sales organization.
Ron Yurko, COO at Powerex, also commented on the partnership: “We are pleased to partner with RFMW to expand the availability of our high-power semiconductor technologies. RFMW’s strong presence in RF and power electronics markets, combined with their technical sales expertise, will help bring our solutions to a broader range of engineers designing next-generation high-power systems.”

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE): A Valuable Option for Modern Designs
04/20/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007When it comes to designing PCBs and full systems for increasingly complex electronics hardware, who doesn’t want to reduce complexity and cost? Single-Pair Ethernet (SPE) has emerged as a solution and is gaining rapid attention across industrial electronics and PCB design because it enables Ethernet communication over a single twisted pair, replacing the traditional two- or four-pair cabling used in standard Ethernet networks. This seemingly simple shift has significant implications for designers: smaller connectors, reduced cable weight, longer reach, and the ability to carry both data and power over a single pair.
Webinar Review, Part 2: Building the AI Backbone at IBM on Systems-level Packaging
04/20/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007The second presentation in a recent Global Electronics Association’s Executive Pulse webinar series widened the lens on advanced packaging, moving beyond the component level to a systems-level view of how AI is reshaping the electronics landscape. Building on Dr. Hemanth Dhavaleswarupu of AMD’s previous discussion of chip-level packaging innovation, Dr. Jung Yoon of IBM explored the broader infrastructure implications, from the data center floor to the global supply chain.
