Product details
Overview
TLP240GA(TP1,F) from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is a halogen-free, normally-open photorelay IC comprising an infrared LED optically coupled to a photo-MOSFET output stage. It delivers 400 V OFF-state voltage, 120 mA ON-state current, and 5000 Vrms isolation in a 4-pin DIP through-hole package-designed for mechanical relay replacement in smart meters and factory automation systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLP240GA(TP1,F) datasheet, TLP240GA(TP1,F) pinout, TLP240GA(TP1,F) application, or TLP240GA(TP1,F) equivalent, this device serves as a reinforced-insulation solid-state switch with verified UL 1577, cUL, CQC, and VDE EN 60747-5-5 compliance-critical for safety-critical AC load control and metering interfaces.
Technical Context
The TLP240GA(TP1,F) implements optical coupling between GaAs LED and dual-drain MOSFET die, enabling galvanic isolation without magnetic components. Its internal structure treats Pins 1–2 as a single input terminal and Pins 3–4 as a single output terminal, forming a two-terminal switching device with no gate drive circuitry required.
It operates under UL 508 recognition with derated ON-state current (78 mA at 85°C) and supports pulsed operation up to 360 mA. The device meets reinforced insulation requirements per IEC/EN 62368-1 via minimum creepage (7.0 mm), clearance (7.0 mm), and 0.4 mm internal insulation thickness.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Voltage | 5000 Vrms min - enables reinforced insulation for mains-connected metering and industrial controls |
| OFF-State Output Voltage | 400 V min - supports direct switching of 240 VAC loads with margin |
| ON-State Current | 120 mA max continuous - suitable for low-power solenoids, indicator lamps, and sensor interface loads |
| Trigger LED Current | 3 mA max - allows direct drive from microcontroller GPIO without external amplification |
| ON-State Resistance | 35 Ω max continuous - limits power dissipation to ≤500 mW at full rated current |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 0.6 ms / 0.2 ms typical - enables fast digital control of AC/DC loads without contact bounce |
| Input-Output Capacitance | 0.8 pF typical - minimizes high-frequency noise coupling across isolation barrier |
Pinout & Package
Housed in a 7.62-mm pitch, 4-pin DIP through-hole package (Toshiba package code 11-5B2S), the TLP240GA(TP1,F) uses standard lead spacing compatible with legacy PCB layouts and wave-soldering processes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | LED anode input - connects to MCU GPIO or driver with current-limiting resistor |
| 2 | Cathode | LED cathode return - completes LED forward path; Pins 1 and 2 are internally treated as one terminal |
| 3 | Drain | MOSFET output drain - connects to load high-side; Pins 3 and 4 are shorted internally |
| 4 | Drain | MOSFET output drain - redundant terminal for mechanical robustness and current sharing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Halogen-Free Resin Encapsulation | Meets JEDEC JS709C and IEC 61249-2-21 standards - eliminates brominated flame retardants for RoHS-compliant end equipment |
| Normally Open (1-Form-A) | Zero-power default state - ensures fail-safe deactivation during controller reset or power loss |
| Reinforced Insulation Certification | UL 1577, cUL, CQC GB4943.1, VDE EN 60747-5-5 - permits use in Class II appliances and smart meter front-end AC sensing |
| Low Trigger Threshold | 3 mA max IFT - reduces MCU I/O loading and eliminates need for discrete transistor drivers |
| Thermal Derating Support | ION derates linearly at −1.2 mA/°C above 25°C - enables predictable performance in enclosed FA enclosures up to 85°C ambient |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar photorelay applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLP240GAF(TP4,F) | 8.0 mm creepage/clearance, 10.16-mm pitch DIP - wider spacing for higher pollution degree environments | Required for EN 60747-5-5 Option D4 compliance and enhanced contamination resistance in outdoor FA enclosures | Select when VDE EN 60747-5-5 certification or >7.62 mm creepage is mandated by system safety review |
| PVG612AR | 1.5 A load rating, SOIC-8 package, 3750 Vrms isolation - higher current, surface-mount, lower isolation voltage | Suitable for PCB space-constrained designs needing >120 mA but not requiring reinforced insulation | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where 5000 Vrms is unnecessary and SMT assembly is preferred |
Compared with TLP240GA(TP1,F), the TLP240GAF(TP4,F) offers extended creepage for harsher environments while retaining identical electrical specs, whereas PVG612AR trades isolation strength for higher current and SMT compatibility-making each alternative optimal only within its specific safety and layout constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous load current supported by the TLP240GA(TP1,F)?
The TLP240GA(TP1,F) supports a maximum continuous ON-state current of 120 mA at 25°C ambient, derating linearly by −1.2 mA/°C above that temperature. At 65°C, the usable current drops to 78 mA per UL 508 specifications. This rating applies to resistive or lightly inductive loads with adequate PCB copper area for thermal dissipation. Exceeding these limits risks accelerated degradation of the photo-MOSFET channel.
Does the TLP240GA(TP1,F) require an external gate resistor or snubber network?
No, the TLP240GA(TP1,F) does not require an external gate resistor or snubber network because it integrates a matched photo-MOSFET pair with built-in gate termination. Its internal structure eliminates parasitic oscillation risk, and the 0.8 pF input-output capacitance ensures minimal noise coupling. External RC networks are unnecessary unless driving highly capacitive loads exceeding 100 nF, which is outside the device's intended use case.
Can the TLP240GA(TP1,F) be used to switch 240 VAC directly?
Yes, the TLP240GA(TP1,F) can directly switch 240 VAC loads due to its 400 V minimum OFF-state output voltage rating and 5000 Vrms isolation. However, design must ensure peak line voltage (≈340 V) remains below the 400 V limit with margin, and load transients are clamped externally if inductive. It is certified for UL 508 use in industrial control equipment, confirming suitability for mains-connected applications when applied per recommended operating conditions.
What is the meaning of "(TP1,F)" in the TLP240GA(TP1,F) part number?
In TLP240GA(TP1,F), "TP1" denotes tape-and-reel packaging with 1500 units per reel, optimized for automated SMT placement despite the device being through-hole; "F" indicates RoHS-compliant, halogen-free resin encapsulation per JEDEC JS709C. This variant retains the standard 7.62-mm DIP footprint (11-5B2S) and is functionally identical to bulk-packed versions-only differing in packaging format and environmental compliance marking.
How does the TLP240GA(TP1,F) achieve reinforced insulation certification?
The TLP240GA(TP1,F) achieves reinforced insulation via physical construction: 7.0 mm minimum creepage and clearance distances, 0.4 mm minimum internal insulation thickness, and CTI ≥175 material. These parameters satisfy IEC 62368-1 and EN 60747-5-5 requirements when used within specified derating limits. Certification is validated through UL 1577 (input-output withstand), UL 508 (industrial control), and VDE EN 60747-5-5 (optocoupler-specific) testing protocols-not inferred from package size alone.
