Thyristors can have many forms, Anode currents of 0.8 A to 10 A rms can be controlled by sensitive but they have certain commonalities. All thyristors are solid state gate SCRs with gate drive currents ranging from 12 µA to 500 µA. switches that are normally open circuits (very high impedance), Sensitive gate SCRs are ideally suited for interfacing to integrated capable of withstanding rated blocking/off-state voltage until trig- circuits or in applications where high current load requirements and gered to on state.

Thyristors are used to control the flow of electrical currents in applications including: • Home appliances (lighting, heating, temperature control, alarm SCRs activation, fan speed) Teccor's SCR products are half-wave, silicon-controlled rectifiers • Electrical tools (for controlled actions such as motor speed, sta- that represent the state of the art in design and performance. pling event, battery charging) Load current capabilities range from 1 A to 70 A rms, and voltages • Outdoor equipment (water sprinklers, gas engine ignition, elec- from 200 V to 1000 V may be specified to meet a variety of appli- tronic displays, area lighting, sports equipment, physical fitness) cation needs. Because of its unidirectional switching capability, the SCR is used in circuits where high surge currents or latching action is required.
