Infineon Technologies Components in South Africa

Infineon Technologies is the company most South African power engineers think of first when a design has to switch serious current. It is the global leader in power semiconductors, and its IGBTs, power MOSFETs and the CoolSiC and CoolGaN wide-bandgap families turn up in motor drives, solar inverters, UPS systems and EV charging hardware.

The portfolio reaches well past power, though. Infineon also makes the AURIX and XMC microcontrollers used in automotive and industrial control, the PSoC and traveo lines that came across with the Cypress acquisition, security controllers, radar and pressure sensors, and gate driver ICs. TRX Electronics supplies genuine Infineon parts to engineers and buyers across South Africa, sourced through authorised distribution.

Where Infineon fits

For local design teams, Infineon usually comes up in one of two conversations. The first is power conversion: choosing the right IGBT module or SiC MOSFET for an inverter or drive, where switching loss and thermal behaviour decide whether the design holds up. The second is embedded control, where an AURIX or XMC microcontroller runs the system.

Our guide on integrated IGBT solutions for high-power drive design covers the power side in detail, and power semiconductors built for industrial extremes is worth a read if your hardware sees heat, vibration or wide voltage swings. For anything else, browse the full semiconductor range or send us a specific Infineon part number.

Buying Infineon in South Africa

Power semiconductors are exactly the category where counterfeit and mis-marked parts cause trouble, so provenance matters. TRX orders Infineon stock only through TTI and Mouser, both authorised Infineon distributors, which keeps the supply chain clean and traceable.

There is no minimum order quantity. A design engineer can order two SiC MOSFETs to characterise on the bench, and a manufacturer can order production volumes against the same authorised channel. In-stock parts ship quickly to the main metros, and for anything sourced to order we quote a real lead time so you can plan around it.

Common questions

Does TRX supply Infineon IGBT and silicon carbide parts?

Yes. We source Infineon IGBTs, IGBT modules, power MOSFETs and CoolSiC silicon carbide devices through authorised distribution. Send the part number and quantity for a current availability check.

Can TRX get Infineon AURIX or XMC microcontrollers?

Yes. The AURIX, XMC, PSoC and traveo microcontroller families are part of the Infineon catalogue we can source. Tell us the device and we will check stock and lead time.

Are Cypress parts now sold under Infineon?

Yes. Infineon completed its acquisition of Cypress in 2020, so PSoC, traveo, EZ-USB and the related Cypress lines are sold and supported as Infineon products.
