MCR103

Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR), which is a specific type of controlled semiconductor rectifier (also classified as a thyristor). Originally manufactured by brands like Motorola, it acts as a triggered solid-state switch that allows current to flow in only one direction once a small current is applied to its gate terminal - Continuous On-State Current (\(I_{T(RMS)}\)): 0.8 Amps (some data sheets list 0.5A average)Peak Repetitive Off-State Voltage (\(V_{DRM}\)): 60 VoltsGate Trigger Current (\(I_{GT}\)): Highly sensitive, typically requiring ≤ 200 µA to switch onPackage Type: Standard plastic TO-92 (or TO-226AA) through-hole package with three pins (Anode, Cathode, Gate).
