Overview

Photorelays are a type of photocouplers consisting of an LED optically coupled with a MOSFET. Photorelays offer many advantages over mechanical relays such as long service life, low-current drive and fast response. Photorelays are widely used for contact switching in semiconductor test systems, security systems, etc. Toshiba offers low RON, low CoFF photorelays in ultra-small VSON/S-VSON packages for semiconductor test system applications, and general-purpose photorelays in various packages featuring high current and high off-state voltage.

Focus Market

High current (Capacity)
photorelay
We’re expanding our lineup to cover the requirements of a wide variety of applications. (Max ION 5A, Max VOFF 600V)
Space saving (Lower CR) for ATE
We used our own unique packaging technology to create the smallest class* size photorelays.

*Investigated by Toshiba in Mar/18
**Automatic test equipment

High productivity
We introduced highly efficient production lines for general use photorelays, Low input current type (TLP176AM,TLP172GM) and high break down voltage(BVs)-5kVrms series item-TLP240/TLP241.
