1-Form-B photo relay offers 1.2A on-state current rating
Offered as an alternative to conventional mechanical relays, the TLP4590A is the latest photo relay from Toshiba Electronics Europe. It is supplied in a compact DIP6 package.
This 1-Form-B (normally closed) photo relay has an on-state current rating of 1.2A, which represents a 140 per cent improvement on the company’s previous-generation TLP4176A device. It has a 60V off-state output terminal voltage rating and enhanced sensitivity due to the low trigger LED current of 2mA (maximum) exhibited.
Applications for the photo relay includes those relating to building automation – including heating, ventilation, air conditioning and security systems, as well as fire alarms. It can also be used in industrial equipment, such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), I/O interfaces and sensor control hardware. The 5,000V rms (minimum) isolation voltage makes the TLP4590A suitable for use where elevated levels of insulation performance are required. Operating range is -40 to +110 degrees C, enabling the photo relay to be used in harsh environments.
