OREANDA-NEWS. Toshiba Corporation announced that it has launched high current photorelays, "TLP241A" and "TLP241AF", as new additions to its "TLP240" series in DIP4 packages offering reinforced insulation. Mass production is scheduled to start in November this year.

The products increase guaranteed maximum on-state current to 2A, four times that of the existing product, allowing use in applications that include factory automation, which requires control of high current.

The "TLP240" series adopts a double-mold DIP4 package, realizing an isolation voltage of 5000Vrms (AC, 1 minute). The latest addition to the series will offer a wide range of off-state output terminal voltage, from 40 to 600V, allowing selection to meet system requirements for applications that include factory automation, smart meters and security equipment.
