Toshiba Releases Automotive Photorelay with 1800V Output Withstand Voltage
Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ('Toshiba') has launched an automotive photorelay [1], ' TLX9165T,' in a 10pin SO16L-T package, that supports high voltage automotive batteries with an output withstand voltage of 1800V (min). Volume shipments start today.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250716045035/en/
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.

South Korea seeks to leverage Trump's focus on shipbuilding in tariff talks
By Ju-min Park and Joyce Lee SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korea and the United States have been discussing a shipbuilding tie-up that could include investments to modernise U.S. shipyards and more help to repair the U.S. naval fleet as Seoul seeks better tariff terms, government and industry sources said. U.S. President Donald Trump, who has made revitalising the ageing U.S. shipbuilding industry a priority to keep up with China, has repeatedly raised the idea of cooperating with South Korea's cutting-edge shipbuilding industry. After investing billions of dollars in shipbuilding capacity, China is the world's biggest shipbuilder. It also has the world's largest maritime fighting force, operating 234 warships to the U.S. Navy's 219, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "South Korea can use shipbuilding as leverage to gain some advantage in tariff negotiations," said Kim Suk Kyoon, a former commissioner of the Korea Coast Guard and an expert on maritime strategy. Pressure on Seoul to reach a deal on import tariffs has increased after Japan struck a trade agreement with the U.S. this week. South Korean officials are in Washington for trade talks, though a high-level meeting due on Friday was postponed over scheduling. South Korea is the world's second-largest shipbuilder and a source with direct knowledge of the talks said any partnership should include South Korean companies investing in the U.S. and helping more in repair and maintenance. South Korea's proposal of a "Korea-U.S. manufacturing renaissance partnership" in areas such as shipbuilding had drawn strong U.S. interest, as Washington called for joint efforts to counter China's shipbuilding growth, Seoul trade officials said, declining to be named as they were not authorised to speak to the media. The U.S. Treasury Department and Trade Representative did not respond to requests for comment on the progress of talks about shipbuilding. South Korea's industry ministry said the U.S. and South Korea were discussing ways to cooperate in manufacturing industries, including shipbuilding, but declined to elaborate. POLITICAL WILL "The most realistic option for South Korea is, I think, to make a deal to fix a certain number of U.S. navy vessels annually or build parts of new ships," said Kim, a visiting researcher at the Korea Institute for Maritime Strategy. Repair of U.S. Navy ships is already happening in South Korea including at Hanwha Ocean's Geoje shipyard, which has the world's largest dock and a 900-ton "Goliath" crane, according to its website. In July, Hanwha Ocean secured its third U.S. Navy maintenance contract and parent Hanwha Group has also been expanding in U.S. shipbuilding. It acquired Pennsylvania-based Philly Shipyard for $100 million last year and said this week the shipyard had received an order for a liquefied natural gas carrier to be built together with Hanwha Ocean's Geoje shipyard. The conglomerate recently said it obtained U.S. approval to increase its stake in Australian shipbuilder Austal that owns a shipyard in Alabama building U.S. Navy ships. Another South Korean shipbuilder, HD Hyundai, formed a partnership this year with U.S. defence-focused shipbuilder Huntington Ingalls, and joined forces with Edison Chouest Offshore to build container ships in the U.S. But, obstacles remain to expanding the relationship. There are difficulties obtaining parts and a lack of local talent at U.S. shipyards, said Woo Jong Hoon, a naval architecture and ocean engineering professor at Seoul National University. Political will would also be needed given the raft of U.S. regulations that protect domestic shipbuilding. A South Korean trade official called for exceptions or changes to the Jones Act, which bars foreign shipyards from building commercial ships to operate in the U.S. The Byrnes-Tollefson Amendment also prohibits the construction of navy vessels in foreign shipyards, but the president retains the authority to waive its provisions for national security. To skirt U.S. regulations, South Korea could look into ideas like building modules to be delivered to U.S. shipyards or designating a South Korean shipyard as a special district so U.S. Navy ships could be built there, Woo said. 'WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL' Trump's introduction to South Korean shipbuilding probably happened nearly three decades ago. The real estate mogul flew in by helicopter to visit the Geoje shipyard in 1998, recounts Lim Moon Kyu, a retired senior executive at the former Daewoo Shipbuilding company who accompanied the VIP guest "with Hollywood looks". Daewoo Shipbuilding was acquired in 2023, becoming Hanwha Ocean. At the top of a 100-metre (328 ft) high crane, Trump was given a birds-eye view of the sprawling shipyard on a southern island. "Clearly, he was impressed, saying 'Wonderful, Wonderful' on top of the crane," said Lim, as he thumbed through photos of the meeting with Trump, who was accompanied by his son Donald Trump Jr. Lim believes the visit left Trump with a lasting positive impression that means he is now open to cooperating with Korean shipbuilders to counter China's growing naval power. "What carrots do we have to give to the U.S.? Nothing but this (shipbuilding) would be immediately possible," said Lim.
