Toshiba Releases Automotive Photorelay in a Small Package that Achieves Output Withstand Voltage of 1500V for Automotive Battery Systems

 

^{Toshiba: "TLX9161T," a new photorelay with an output withstand voltage of 1500V, housed in a small package.}


KAWASAKI, Japan, Aug 21 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched an automotive photorelay^[1], "TLX9161T," in a small SO12L-T package, that achieves an output withstand voltage of 1500V (min), the level required to support high voltage automotive batteries. Volume shipments start today.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250820514873/en/ 

Key challenges in popularizing electric vehicles include reducing charging times and improving cruising range. Addressing these requires efficient operation of the battery system. This is done by the battery management system (BMS), which monitors the battery’s charge status to enable high-efficiency system operation, and also monitors isolation between the battery and the vehicle body to ensure the safe use of high-voltage batteries. Electrically isolated photorelays are used in BMS that handle high voltages.

Toshiba’s new product, a high-voltage photorelay with an output withstand voltage of 1500V (min), is a miniaturized version of Toshiba's TLX9160T photorelay. Miniaturizing the TLX9160T’s built-in MOSFET chip has achieved integration into the SO12L-T package, which has a mounting area approximately 25%^[2] smaller than the TLX9160T’s SO16L-T package. This size reduction also contributes to miniaturization and cost reduction of the BMS. The pin pitch and pin layout are the same as those of the SO16L-T, enabling use of the same circuit board pattern design.

The new photorelay uses a resin with a Comparative Tracking Index (CTI^[3]) exceeding 600, which is classified under Material Group I^[4] of the IEC 60664-1^[5] international standard. The pin configuration ensures a creepage distance of more than 5mm^[6] on the detector side. This realizes compliance with IEC 60664-1, supporting an operating voltage of 1000V.

Toshiba will continue to expand its lineup of automotive photorelay products and provide solutions that address the challenges in popularizing electric vehicles, aiming to contribute to the realization of a carbon-neutral society.

Notes:
[1] Photorelay: The primary (control) and the secondary (switch) sides 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] Comparison of SO16L-T package size (10.3×10.0×2.45 mm) with SO12L-T package size (7.76×10.0×2.45 mm).
[3] Comparative Tracking Index (CTI): An index that indicates the voltage withstand capability of an insulating material before an electrical track (conductive path) forms along its surface.
[4] Material Group I: A classification of molded materials in IEC 60664-1 that refers to materials with a Comparative Tracking Index (CTI^[3]) of 600 and more.
[5] IEC 60664-1: The standard that specifies principles, requirements, and test methods for insulation coordination for systems up to AC 1000V or DC 1500V.
[6] More than 5mm: The required creepage distance for an operating voltage 1000V, 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.)

Bitget Protection Fund Reaches Record High of $779.7M in July 2025, Reinforcing Commitment to User Asset Safety

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Aug 8 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, today released its July 2025 Protection Fund Report, revealing a new peak in valuation and underlining its steadfast commitment to safeguarding user assets. As of July 22, the Protection Fund hit an all-time high of $779.7 million, reflecting strong capital backing during a period of elevated market activity. The fund’s daily valuation ranged from a low of $686.5 million on July 1 to the peak mid-month, while the monthly average settled at approximately $746 million.

Over July, the Protection Fund’s valuation closely mirrored Bitcoin price fluctuations, with BTC trading between approximately $105,600–$119,956. Throughout the entire month, Bitget maintained a consistent BTC holding of 6,500 coins, showing stable reserve coverage regardless of market volatility. By the end of the month on July 31, the fund stood at $752 million, reflecting sustained strength even as BTC prices eased slightly.

Bitget established the Protection Fund in 2022 with an initial commitment of $300 million, aiming to provide a robust financial backbone for user assets. Since its inception, the fund has regularly exceeded that baseline—even during turbulent market conditions. July’s record valuation is a testament to Bitget’s proactive asset management and dedication to financial resilience.

Security remains at the core of Bitget’s strategy. In addition to the Protection Fund, the company publishes a monthly Proof of Reserves report to confirm a minimum 1:1 reserve ratio for users' assets. These combined measures reflect a multi-layered approach to trust and transparency—ensuring that users can confidently trade and store assets on the platform.

Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, emphasized: “The Protection Fund hitting nearly $780 million shows our unwavering focus on user asset protection and long-term stability. Even in a market defined by fast-moving trends, our fund offers peace of mind and reinforces Bitget’s position as an industry-standard for secure trading environments.”

Bitget encourages users and community members to review the latest full Protection Fund and Proof of Reserves data, available on its official website, for independent verification of its financial integrity.
