Today Toshiba announced the launch of a new line-up of low input current type transistor output photocouplers.

We recommence with Toshiba series of announcements. Today Connectikpeople has nabbed the launch of a new line-up of low input current type transistor output photocouplers.

 According to Toshiba, they guarantee high CTR (Current Transfer Ratio) at low input current.

“TLP182” and “TLP183” will be available in SO6 packages and
“TLP292” and “TLP293” in small SO4 packages.

Pending the mass production at the end of August, 2013, Connectikpeople may recall that, the photocouplers all incorporate Toshiba’s original high output infrared LEDs and aims to guarantee the same CTR at 0.5mA input current and at 5.0mA input current.

Connectikpeopl has also discovered that, the LED’s stable output under high ambient temperature guarantees operation at up to 125°C, allowing for reliable use in industrial devices, compact power supplies and other applications that generate high levels of heat.

Applications include: Switching power supplies, industrial devices such as PLC and inverters, and AC line detection for home appliances.
