About us
Toward Technologies, Inc.
Toward Technologies, Inc. (TOWARD RELAYS as a brand ) has been a manufacturer of Solid State Relays, Opto-MOSFET Relays, Opto- SiC MOSFET Relays, Reed Relays, Wet Reed Relays, and RF MEMS Switches since 1988.
We have been supplying the world's semiconductor testing, Battery Management Systems (BMS), Automatic Test Equipment (ATE), Industrial Control, and Telecommunication Industries for over three decades.
As of 2021, our annual revenue is USD 50million, with factories located in Hsinchu, Taiwan, and Zhejiang, China. Worldwide sales offices are located in Singapore, Germany, San Jose, Rhode Island, Beijing, Shenzhen, Suzhou, and Taipei.
Solid State Relays
Our Solid-State Relay product line comprises the following products: First, Opto-MOSFET Relays, which focuses on high load voltage, superior performing linearity, miniature size (4.4mm*4.3mm) and unlimited lifetime. Our Silicon Carbide Opto-MOSFET Relays can load voltage up to 3300V while maintaining the miniature size (8.8mm*6.4mm).
Additionally, our larger high current solid-state relays can carry current up to 100Amps. Further, we provide general-purpose miniature solid-state relays with the inclusion of triac and MOSFETs.
Lastly, we offer hundreds of choices of various specifications such as load voltage, carry current, resistance, capacitance, insulation, isolation, package type, size, and a lot more with our general-purpose solid-state relays. Most of our solid-state relays' production is done in 1k grade cleanrooms located in our Hsinchu main factory with ISO9001 and IATF16949 automotive certifications. The monthly production capacity of Solid State Relays is at 7,000,000 pcs.
Reed Relays
Our Reed Relays are developed with a focus on stable quality and a wide variation of specifications to suit different markets’ switching demands.
For example, the LRL Series High-Voltage Reed Relay can load voltage up to 20,000V with the TMR Series High-Current Reed Relay carrying current up to 30Amps and the BU series loading frequency up to 6GHz.
Additionally, our VN Series Multi-Channel Miniature Reed Relays are designed for the semiconductor testing and ATE market, where the number of channels and overall complications of load boards is increasing.
All of our reed relays have to go through various tests before we provide them to our customers; test items include Life Tests, I/O Breakdown Voltage, Dynamic Contact resistance, Static Contact Resistance, Coil Integrity Test, Voltage/Current overdrive, and many more. More general-purpose reed relays are also mass-produced, focusing on high and durable quality. Combining our overall production capacity, we can produce up to 3,000,000 pcs of reed relays monthly.
RF MEMS Switches
Our RF MEMS switches offer high power, low loss, high linearity, high reliability (3 billion switching operations or more), airgap isolation, fast switching and tiny size (2.5mm*2.5mm). These switches are backed by General Electric's advanced material science and Corning's mature Through-Glass-Via technology. This enables robust and highly reliable switches capable of greater than 25 W forward power, switching frequencies from DC to 60GHz . Ideal solution for replacing large RF electromechanical relays, as well as RF microwave solid-state switches in applications where linearity and insertion loss are critical parameters. These Switches are provided by Menlo Micro based in California, Toward serves as one of Menlo Micro's initial investors, sub-manufacturer and distributor in Asia.
