KUALA LUMPUR, March 18 (Bernama) — Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba) has commenced volume shipments of the “TLX9920”, a new photovoltaic-output photocoupler targeting solid state relays (SSR) in automotive equipment.<\/p>\n

According to Toshiba in a statement, the introduction of the TLX9920 aligns with the growing demand for automotive relay units that offer a longer operational life, a market trend accelerating the industry’s shift from conventional mechanical relays to SSR.<\/p>\n

The component functions as a gate driver for the high-voltage power MOSFET utilised within SSR. This combination enables high-voltage and high-current switching, a performance level difficult to achieve with standard photorelays.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

A key advantage of integrating the TLX9920 into SSR is the elimination of contact wear and the need for regular maintenance, issues common to mechanical relays that rely on physical contacts.<\/p>\n

To meet rigorous safety requirements, the device is housed in a thin, long-creepage-distance SO6L package, which delivers a high isolation voltage. The package’s creepage distance, exceeding eight millimetres (mm), surpasses the 5.6 mm minimum required by the IEC 60664-12 international standard for applications involving 400-volt (V) or higher operating voltages in environments with pollution degree two.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the TLX9920 complies with AEC-Q101, the automotive electronic component reliability standard.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Beyond automotive systems, the TLX9920 is suited for a broad array of switching applications in high-voltage and harsh environmental conditions, including energy storage systems (ESS) and industrial power equipment.<\/p>\n

Toshiba indicated that this product reflects its continuing effort to develop reliable products for automotive and industrial markets, thereby supporting technological innovation and contributing to a sustainable society.<\/p>\n
