What you need

• High-power SCR ARD0011355
• A test circuit
• A digital multimeter
• A current generator

Steps

1. Check the datasheet for the SCR specifications.
2. Connect the cathode pin (C) to a resistive component.
3. Connect the anode (A) pin to a component that will generate the trigger (e.g., resistor).
4. Connect the gate (G) pin to a control circuit.
5. Check that the trigger current is in accordance with the specifications.
6. Connect a load to the anode (A) pin.
7. Check that the SCR turns on correctly.
8. Test the insulation safety.
