Toshiba Releases Automotive Photorelay with 1800V Output Withstand Voltage
Article content KAWASAKI, Japan — 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. Article content 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. Article content 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. Article content 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. Article content The pin pitch and pin configuration are the same as SO16L-T [6], allowing the common use of PCB pattern design. Article content 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. Article content 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.

Kawasaki supporters unveil classy banner for Celtic-bound Shin Yamada
The striker said his farewells in Japan earlier today and is soon expected to travel to Glasgow to complete his £1.5 million move to the Scottish Premiership champions. Read more: As he bid farewell to Kawasaki, the supporters unveiled a banner for Yamada, which gave a nod to his Celtic switch: Well that confirms where he is going. Welcome to Celtic, Shin Yamada 🍀🇯🇵 — Charlie 🍀 (@TheBhoysPage) July 16, 2025 Speaking to local media after saying his goodbyes in Japan, Yamada said: "When I played against Kashima Antlers (on July 6), it had already been decided. "Yes (I was emotional), Taiki (Yamada) was there too, and players came to see me too. It had already been decided at that time. "I feel like I've become more emotional! I definitely feel like I cry more easily. "Today was a game, however, so I had mixed emotions. I was a bit embarrassed to be speaking in front of everyone there, so the tears didn't come." Yamada continued: "When I joined Kawasaki Frontale, I had a desire to go overseas. I thought that if I didn't make that decision, I wouldn't be able to get any closer to my goal of participating in the World Cup and winning it in Japan. So that's the decision I came to. "Of course, there are a lot of things that happen... I was hesitant... But I had no doubts about going (to Celtic)."

Incoming Celtic star Shin Yamada wipes away tears in emotional farewell to club in Japan as fans make heartfelt gesture
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHIN YAMADA has bid a highly emotional farewell to Kawasaki Frontale as he closes-in on his Celtic switch. The striker was seen wiping away tears as he waved goodbye before travelling to Scotland. Sign up for the Celtic newsletter Sign up 6 Shin Yamada has addressed the Kawasaki Frontale fans Credit: Getty 6 He was visibly emotional as he waved to the fans Credit: X 6 He wiped away tears as he spoke to the supporters Credit: X SunSport were first to exclusively reveal Celtic's interest in Yamada last month. And we told you last week that Yamada's transfer to Celtic was edging ever closer - but would only happen AFTER his international commitments. The frontman was selected in the Japan squad for the E-1 Football Championship in South Korea over the past week and made his international debut in the process. Yamada, who hit 19 goals for Kawasaki Frontale last season, was picked for the four-team tournament that concluded on Tuesday night, with Japan crowned champions. Just a day later, Yamada was back with his club side. Given he'd just been on international duty, he didn't feature as Kawasaki faced Sagamihara in an Emperor's Cup clash. But he did receive a rather emotional farewell from the fans he's played in front of since 2022. One video has emerged from Japan showing the Kawasaki fans' touching tribute to the striker. They unfurled a huge banner in the stands, which featured Yamada's face on a Scottish flag. It also contained his name, 'Shin,' several times. Celtic launch new away kit with trailer featuring Scottish music icon and Hoops legends There was also a compilation video of Yamada's highlights from his time at the club played through the big screens in the stadium. Other footage shows a visibly emotional Yamada, wearing his Kawasaki kit, walking around the pitch to a great reception. Clearly holding back the tears, Yamada waves and applauds to the fans who are clapping him. While he managed to stop himself crying at that point, another video shows that he didn't quite manage to keep the tears at bay. Yamada can be seen addressing a section of the supporters with a megaphone. 6 As he begins his speech, he has to take a few moments to regain his composure as he wipes away tears from his eyes. Yamada is now set to travel to seal his move to Celtic. Brendan Rodgers has already added five players to his squad this summer. Kieran Tierney, Ross Doohan, Benji Nygren and Callum Osmand are the new recruits with Yamada set to be the next arrival. 6 The fans unfurled a banner for Yamada Credit: X 6 He was given a video send-off too Credit: X Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

Celtic-bound Yamada in emotional Kawasaki farewell message
Yamada said his goodbyes to Kawasaki after their penalty shootout loss to third-tier outfit SC Sagamihara in the cup earlier today. "When I played against Kashima Antlers (on July 6), it had already been decided," he told local media. Read more: "Yes (I was emotional), Taiki (Yamada) was there too, and players came to see me too.

"Of course, there are a lot of things that happen... I was hesitant... But I had no doubts about going (to Celtic)." Yamada has scored just four goals for Kawasaki in all competitions this year, although in 2024, he found the net 22 times. Celtic will be hoping he can rediscover his shooting boots once he makes the move to Parkhead.
