Toshiba launches 2 photorelays suitable for smart meters

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 19 -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba) has launched two photorelays, ‘TLP223GA’ and ‘TLP223J’, with an OFF-state output terminal voltage rating of 400V and 600V, respectively.

According to a statement, they both feature low input power, improved switching characteristics, and are housed in a DIP4 package.

The new products come with a high luminous efficiency LED developed by Toshiba and have a maximum trigger LED current of 2mA. This is about 33 per cent lower than current products and allows low input power.

Faster operation is secured by lower switching characteristics (turn-on time, turn-off time): 50 per cent for TLP223GA and 75 per cent for TLP223J.

Their maximum operating temperature ratings have been extended from 85°C to 110°C, suiting them for use in equipment installed outdoors, such as smart meters. A maximum isolation voltage of 5000Vrms allows use in equipment requiring high isolation performance.

With annual sales now surpassing 710-billion yen (US$6.5 billion), Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation looks forward to building and to contributing to a better future for people everywhere. (US$1 = RM4.192)
