Toshiba Electronics has introduced a 60V 1A single-contact photo-relay in a 2.6 x 7mm 4pad SO4 package. Called TLP3640A, it can switch 60Vdc or 60Vac peak, with a typical on-resistance of 0.14Ω and maximum off-state leakage of 1µA. 100ms pulses of up to 3A can be carried. Operation is over -40 to +110°C, and de-rating starts at 25°C, dropping linearly ...
