New Partnership with EPC Space – Rad-Hard GaN for Space Applications (02/2025)

We are excited to announce a strategic partnership between KAMAKA and EPC Space, bringing cutting-edge Radiation-Hardened Gallium Nitride (Rad-Hard GaN) technology to the space industry. This collaboration unites KAMAKA’s expertise in distributing high-reliability electronic components with EPC Space’s leadership in Rad-Hard GaN-on-Silicon power solutions, delivering state-of-the-art products designed for satellites and other critical applications in extreme environments.

Advancing Space Technology Together

KAMAKA is proud to join forces with EPC Space, a leader in radiation-hardened GaN technology with a strong track record in aerospace, military, and space sectors. By combining our strengths, we aim to provide high-performance, compact, and highly efficient power solutions that withstand the rigorous demands of space missions.

Why GaN is the Future of Space Electronics

Gallium Nitride (GaN) is transforming spaceborne power systems, offering:

  • Higher breakdown strength
  • Faster switching speeds
  • Superior thermal conductivity
  • Lower on-resistance

Compared to traditional silicon-based power devices, GaN technology enables higher power densities, improved efficiency, and reduced size and weight—all critical factors for space applications. Additionally, GaN is naturally radiation tolerant, making it the ideal choice for satellites and high-reliability space missions.

Proven Success in Space

Since 2017, EPC Space has been at the forefront of Rad-Hard GaN technology, with tens of thousands of units deployed in satellites operating in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO). Many of these missions have exceeded ten years of continuous operation, proving the unmatched reliability and longevity of EPC Space’s GaN solutions.

With this partnership, KAMAKA and EPC Space are set to push the boundaries of space power technology, ensuring the highest standards of performance and reliability for future missions.
