Pinout

The TLP161J is a photorelay (also known as an optoMOS relay) manufactured by Toshiba. It typically comes in a 4-pin SO6 package. The primary function of the TLP161J is to provide an electrically isolated switch that can be controlled by an external voltage source. It is used in applications requiring electrical isolation between input and output, such as in test equipment, security systems, or telecommunications equipment. The photorelay uses an LED to activate a photodetector, which then drives a MOSFET, providing the switching action without mechanical contacts. This allows for silent operation and a long lifespan compared to mechanical relays.
