Toshiba: a new photorelay 'TLX9165T' with an output withstand voltage of 1800V (min) suited for high voltage automotive batteries.
Improved charge times and longer cruising ranges are essential for wider adoption of electric vehicles, and both require more efficient operation of battery systems. Battery management systems (BMS) realize efficient system operation by monitoring the battery charge status, and the insulation between the battery and the vehicle body that is essential for the safe use of high-voltage batteries. BMS that must handle high voltages use electrically isolated photorelays.
Energy storage systems (ESS), used to secure efficient operation of renewable energy, have also adopted a configuration similar to BMS; they handle the same high voltage as electric vehicles, and use electrically isolated photorelays.
While 400V battery systems are the mainstream in electric vehicles, growing demand for longer cruising ranges and faster charging will hasten the shift to 800V systems. Photorelays used in those battery systems must have a withstand voltage approximately twice the system voltage, which is 1600V or more for an 800V system. Toshiba's new photorelay incorporates a newly developed high-voltage MOSFET with an output withstand voltage of 1800V(min), suitable for 800V systems.
The 10-pin SO16L-T package adopts a resin with a Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) [2] of 600 or more, putting it in material group I [3] of the IEC 60664-1 [4] international standard, and the pin configuration ensures a creepage distance of 7.5mm or more [5] on the light receiver side. These features are compliant with IEC 60664-1, and deliver an operating voltage of 1500V.
The pin pitch and pin configuration are the same as SO16L-T [6], allowing the common use of PCB pattern design.
Toshiba will continue to develop photorelay products suitable for battery systems in automotive applications and energy storage systems in industrial equipment, contributing to the safe operation of equipment.
Notes:
[1] Photorelay: The primary (control) side and the secondary (switch) side are electrically isolated. Switches connected directly to the AC line and switches between equipment that differ in ground potential can be controlled through insulating barriers.
[2] Comparative Tracking Index (CTI): IEC 60112 [7] defines CTI as the maximum possible voltage before droplets of ammonium chloride solution on the surface of the insulating material cause tracking, under the given test conditions.
[3] Material group I: One of the classifications of molded materials in IEC 60664-1 [4] refers to materials with a Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) [2] of 600 and more.
[4] IEC 60664-1: This standard specifies principles, requirements, and test methods for insulation coordination for systems up to AC 1000V or DC 1500V.
[5] A creepage distance of 7.5mm or more: The required creepage distance for an operating voltage 1500V, material group I, pollution degree 2 (the degree of pollution of the operating environment where electrical equipment is used: pollutants are entirely non-conductive, but could potentially be rendered conductive by condensation.)
[6] SO16L-T: The package used for Toshiba's TLX9160T and TLX9152M.
[7] IEC 60112: An international standard that specifies testing methods for measuring the Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) of insulating materials. This standard is used to evaluate electrical breakdown (tracking) characteristics at the surface of solid insulating materials.

Oppenheimer lifts S&P 500 year-end target to Wall Street-high on trade optimism
(Reuters) -Oppenheimer Asset Management on Monday raised its year-end target for the S&P 500 index to 7,100, the highest among major Wall Street brokerages, betting on easing trade tensions and strong corporate earnings. Its current target implies an 11.13% upside to the benchmark index's last close of 6,388.64. Oppenheimer previously set a target of 5,950 for the index. "With the announcement of trade deals (Japan, EU) by President Trump... we believe that enough 'tariff hurdles' have been overcome for now," Oppenheimer strategists led by John Stoltzfus said in a note. The U.S. and European Union finalised a trade deal on Sunday, that sets a 15% tariff on most European goods including cars, semiconductors and pharmaceuticals, while the EU pledged to buy $750 billion in U.S. energy and invest $600 billion in the U.S. economy. Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump struck a $550 billion deal with Japan. Earlier this month, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and RBC Capital Markets also raised their S&P 500 targets The S&P 500 has rebounded 28.2% since its April 8 low, following Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs, broadly driven by cyclical sectors such as technology, industrials and communication services. Oppenheimer brought back its S&P 500 earnings estimate to $275, which it had originally set in December 2024, having trimmed its projection to $265 in April. Stoltzfus continues to favor U.S. equities, particularly cyclical stocks, and sees further upside as inflation moderates and expects the Federal Reserve to hold interest rates steady in this week's policy meeting.

Coupang Keeps Hitting New Highs. Should You Buy CPNG Stock in July 2025?
Coupang (CPNG) has become a force in global e-commerce, turning South Korea into its testing ground for Amazon (AMZN) style dominance. From its own delivery fleet to streaming services like Coupang Play and food delivery services like Coupang Eats, the company has invested billions to create an ecosystem that keeps users locked in and rivals on edge. Coupang's expansion into Taiwan and the growing popularity of its WOW membership program show that the company isn't slowing down. Its model of free shipping, lightning-fast delivery, and broadening services is pushing it beyond borders. More News from Barchart Warren Buffett Warns Inflation Turns Business Into 'The Upside-Down World of Alice in Wonderland' But Weeds Out 'Bad Businesses' Why GOOGL Stock May Be the Market's Next Big Winner Alphabet Posts Lower Free Cash Flow and FCF Margins - Is GOOGL Stock Overvalued? Stop Missing Market Moves: Get the FREE Barchart Brief – your midday dose of stock movers, trending sectors, and actionable trade ideas, delivered right to your inbox. Sign Up Now! The market is taking notice. CPNG stock just clocked a new 52-week high of $31.65 on July 21, yet another fresh peak over the past 52 weeks, showing just how strong this rally has been. With momentum this strong, should investors buy in before the stock climbs higher? About Coupang Stock Founded in 2010, Coupang reshaped itself from an eBay (EBAY) style marketplace into a formidable e-commerce retail business engine, operating through its mobile applications and internet websites both domestically in South Korea and abroad. Under the direction of founder Bom Kim, Coupang — often dubbed 'South Korea's Amazon" — has built a deep logistics moat capable of same-day and overnight delivery, which keeps competitors at bay and customers coming back. Now armed with over 23 million active shoppers and a growing footprint in Taiwan, Coupang is still just warming up. With a market capitalization of $55 billion, it's chasing dominance in a $500 billion retail playground, one fast delivery at a time. In 2025, CPNG stock has surged 38% year-to-date (YTD). Technically, the stock has just broken out of a long consolidation phase, pushing its Relative Strength Index (RSI) above 70 — and with its RSI holding above that mark since May, it signals strong bullish momentum. With volume picking up and RSI confirming the rally, Coupang is sprinting. From a valuation angle, CPNG has a premium price tag, trading at 102 times forward earnings and 1.81 times sales. But investors are betting big on Coupang's rapid growth, operational muscle, and global push to back up that price and keep it climbing as a high-upside e-commerce disruptor. Coupang's Stellar Q1 Earnings Results The e-commerce powerhouse unveiled its first-quarter numbers after the bell on May 6, and Wall Street liked what it saw. EPS landed right on target at $0.06, and while revenue came in a touch light at $7.9 billion, the Street shrugged it off. An 11% year-over-year (YOY) sales bump was enough to send the stock surging nearly 11% in the next session, fueled by investor confidence in the company's long game. The core product commerce engine stayed solid, with revenue up 6%, or 16% in constant currency. Active customer count rose 9% annually to 23.4 million, and spend per customer climbed to $321 — proof that Coupang is getting more out of each shopper. The real breakout came from its developing offerings (think Eats and Taiwan), which grew revenue 67% in Q1 or 78% in constant currency. Behind the scenes, supply-chain upgrades, automation, and process innovations helped push gross profit up 20% to $2.3 billion and adjusted EBITDA up 36% to $382 million. Coupang also announced its first large-scale stock buyback, a $1 billion repurchase program. Plus, the company's eyes are locked on Taiwan, where its newly launched WOW membership program is quickly becoming the centerpiece of its international playbook. The company is leaning hard into expansion there, betting that the same formula that worked in Korea — fast delivery, loyalty perks, and customer obsession — can catch fire abroad. For 2025, Coupang is sticking to its guns with a 20% consolidated growth target in constant currency. It is willing to stomach some red ink in the near term, forecasting adjusted EBITDA losses of $650 million to $750 million from its developing offerings. But with long-term margins still projected north of 10%, management is making one thing clear — they are playing offense now to lock in profitability down the line. Analysts tracking Coupang expect an EPS of $0.30 in 2025, up 36% YOY, before rising another 113% annually to $0.64 in 2026. What Do Analysts Expect for Coupang Stock? Wall Street's view on CPNG stock is bullish. The stock has a consensus 'Strong Buy' rating overall. Out of 10 analysts offering recommendations on shares, eight back a 'Strong Buy" rating. Meanwhile, one analyst advises a 'Moderate Buy' rating, and the remaining one plays it safe with a 'Hold' rating. The stock currently trades above the average analyst price target of $30.15. The Street-high target of $36 suggests that CPNG stock could rally as much as 19% from here.
