“TLP172AM” and “TLP172GM” utilize multi-chip technology and were developed as high spec, pin-compatible versions of Toshiba existing 2.54SOP package products, “TLP172A” and “TLP172G”. A double-mold structure improves minimum voltage isolation to 3750 Vrms against the 1500 Vrms of the current products.

Applications for the new photorelays include factory automation systems, battery management systems (BMS), security systems, telecommunication equipment, IoT systems and replacements of mechanical relays.

Notes

[1] Toshiba Corporation Storage & Electronic Devices Solutions Company defines halogen-free and antimony-free products as those meeting all of the following requirements: (a) containing bromine (Br) and chlorine (Cl) at no more than 900 parts per million (ppm) by weight for each element, and containing bromine and chlorine in an aggregate amount not exceeding 1500 ppm by weight; and (b) containing no more than 1000 ppm antimony (Sb) by weight. For the avoidance of doubt, Halogen-Free/Antimony-Free products may not be entirely free of bromine, chlorine, or antimony, and may contain other element of the halogen family.
