Ideal Power announces power rating increase for its discrete B-TRAN product

Ideal Power (IPWR) announced a 50% increase in the published power rating of its discrete B-TRAN product from 50 amps to 75 amps. “Raising the current rating to 75 amps enables customers to provide higher system power for their products with the same device count or hold system power constant while reducing the required number of devices. This results in improved power density and potentially a smaller footprint for OEM products incorporating B-TRAN,” said Dan Brdar, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ideal Power. “The Company will benefit from a pricing premium associated with a higher rated product while current and prospective customers will share in this benefit due to the reduced part count to meet a given power rating and resultant net cost savings for their OEM products.”
