Littelfuse, Inc., the global leader in circuit protection, today introduced a series of 40A standard high-temperature silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) thyristors that are ideal for use as switches ...

Littelfuse has introduced a series of 16A SCR switching thyristors for electric vehicle on-board charge (EVOBC) applications. S8016xA Series SCR Switching Thyristors can handle Level 1 charging up to ...

Although the silicon controlled rectifier or SCR has been around since 1957, it doesn’t get nearly the love an ordinary transistor does. That’s a shame because they are quite handy when it comes to ...

A gate turn-off switch, also known as a gate-controlled switch (GCS) or gate turn-off thyristor (GTO), is similar to an SCR but can be turned off by a negative signal on the gate terminal. GTOs ...

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 ...

This SCR phase control works much like the common TRIAC dimmer, but has numerous advantages including increased current capability, robustness and absence of minimum voltage “snap-on.” A complementary ...
