What is MCR72-3?
This is Thyristor SCR 100V 100A 3-Pin(3+Tab) TO-220AB Box. A thyristor is a type of solid-state semiconductor device that acts as a switch and controls the flow of current in an electrical circuit. Thyristors have three or four layers of alternating p-type and n-type semiconductor material and are typically triggered into operation by a small current applied to the gate terminal. |

Once triggered, the thyristor remains in the "on" state until the current flowing through the device is interrupted or the voltage across the device falls below a certain level. Thyristors have several advantages over traditional mechanical switches, including high reliability, fast switching speeds, and the ability to handle high currents and voltages. They also have a number of disadvantages, including sensitivity to temperature changes, slow turn-off time, and the need for external triggering circuitry. Manufacturers : New Jersey Semiconductor  |
