Photorelays feature drive currents from 0.4 to 5 A.
Press Release Summary:
Supplied in DIP8 package, models TLP3547, TLP3548, and TLP3549 offer pulsed ON-state current and can be used to replace mechanical relays in industrial applications. Total lack of physical contacts eliminates wear and deterioration concerns. While TLP3547 is 60 V photorelay with 5 A (max) drive current, 400 V TLP3548 features 0.4 A max drive current and high-speed switching of 1 ms (max). Utilizing DTMOS series super junction structure MOSFET, 600 V TLP3549 has 0.6 A max drive current.
Original Press Release:
Toshiba Introduces New Photorelays with Industry-Leading 5A Drive Current
Enhance Reliability When Replacing Mechanical Relays in Industrial Applications
IRVINE, Calif. -- Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)* today announced the addition of three new products to its photorelay lineup: the TLP3547, TLP3548 and TLP3549. Housed in DIP8 packages, the new photorelays can be used to replace mechanical relays in industrial applications and feature an industry-leading[1 large drive current of 5A.
Unlike mechanical relays, photorelays have no physical contacts that are subject to wear and deterioration, an advantage that leads to enhanced reliability. The use of photorelays also enables the development of smaller, thinner sets. In addition, Toshiba's new photorelays offer a pulsed ON-state current that is three times larger than that of a continuous ON-state current – which improves design safety.
The TLP3547 is a 60V product with a 5A (max.) large drive current, and the 400V TLP3548 features a 0.4A (max.) drive current and high-speed switching of 1ms (max.). The 600V TLP3549 is the industry's first[2 photorelay to utilize a super junction structure MOSFET (Toshiba's DTMOS series) and has a drive current of 0.6A (max.).
Toshiba's photorelays can be used to replace mechanical relays for enhanced reliability in applications including:
Thermostats (heating, ventilation and air conditioning)
Power supply control in network equipment (TCP/IP, IoT)
Factory automation equipment
AC servos
General purpose inverters
PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers)
Power meters, smart meters
Security-related products
ATE (Automatic Test Equipment)
