Descriptive summary

Silicon Controlled Rectifiers are half cycle AC or DC power switches with positive gate triggering. They offer high voltage capability and are available in a range of gate sensitivities. Their planar passivated construction ensures voltage ruggedness and reliability. They are used in AC or DC applications. Forward conduction is latched, so when operated in DC circuits the load current must be reduced to zero to allow them to turn off.
