Silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) are interesting devices that can be used for on-chip ESD protection, if (and only if) they are properly designed and biased. SCRs ...

Over on YouTube [Lockdown Electronics] reviews an old bit of kit known as the Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR). Invented in the 1950s the SCR is a type of thyristor and they were popular back in the ...

The circuit has been constructed to provide an in-circuit system that will test the integrity of electronic components such as Silicon Controlled Rectifiers, diodes, and PNP or NPN transistors. 4093 – ...

SCRs (silicon-controlled rectifiers), or thyristors, have higher current and voltage ratings, lower conduction losses, and more robustness than triacs. For these reasons, SCRs are better suited to ...

Applied Power Systems announces the release of its BAP3012 next generation twelve pulse gate firing board which provides robust and reliable operation of parallel or series connected SCR (Silicon ...

A series of 16A silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) switching thyristors has been developed by Littelfuse for use in electric vehicle on-board charge applications. The S8016xA series SCR switching ...

Have you ever wondered how some piece of digital technology developed? Or, what led up to some power electronics we take for granted today? Or, why we call something by a name that doesn’t seem to ...

Applied Power Systems announces the BAP3012 next generation twelve pulse gate firing board which provides robust and reliable operation of parallel or series connected SCR (Silicon Controlled ...
