4 Amp Sensitive SCRs
Sxx04xSx Series
Description
Excellent unidirectional switches for phase control
applications such as heating and motor speed controls.
Sensitive gate SCRs are easily triggered with microAmps
of current as furnished by sense coils, proximity switches,
and microprocessors.

To measure gate trigger voltage and current, raise gate
voltage (V
GT
) until meter reading V1 drops from 6 V to 1 V.
Gate trigger voltage is the reading on V
GT
just prior to V1
dropping. Gate trigger current I
GT
Can be computed from
the relationship
V
GT
I
GT
= I
G
- ____ Amps
1000
where I
G
is reading (in amperes) on meter just prior to V1
dropping
Note: I
GT
may turn out to be a negative quantity (trigger
current flows out from gate lead). If negative current
occurs, I
GT
value is not a valid reading. Remove 1 k resistor
and use I
G
as the more correct I
GT
value. This will occur on
12 μA gate products.
