Tokyo: Toshiba Electronic Devices and Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched four voltage-driven photorelays, 'TLP3407SRB,' 'TLP3412SRB,' 'TLP3412SRHB,' and 'TLP3412SRLB' housed in the small S-VSON4T package. The new photorelays deliver a maximum operating temperature rating of 135°C for equipment that operates at high temperatures. Volume shipments start today.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, advances in electrification and autonomous driving now require high-density packaging of electronic components in automotive equipment. This has raised the temperatures at which automotive semiconductors operate, and testing under similar conditions is necessary to evaluate reliability; testers, burn-in equipment, probe cards, and other devices for automotive semiconductors must be able to operate at high temperatures, as must the photorelays used in them.
