Hi, Joe. Like most of the catalog distributors, the "hard copy" catalog is a
helpful addition to the web site.
Mouse reps Teccor, a manufacturer of SCRs, triacs, and other thyristors. Look
under Manufacturers -> Teccor to see their product selection.
Try getting a catalog from the website. I find it helps a lot.
Thank you gents, I do have a mouser catalog around here somewhere. I am
remodeling a couple of rooms so I have no idea where it is right now, tho.
I will go to the website and look up teccor.
Of course, this leads me to another question. I was reading some of the
information about how the scr and scs works and most of the explanations
show a transistor 'equivalent' circuit. If I wire up the transistor
equivalent circuit, It consists of a npn and a pnp transistor, Will that be
a good substitute for the real thing? I am using low power (battery, less
than 100mA, around 3 to 9volts) DC. I was planning on activating a second
circuit with a oneshot and needed something to turn it on and stay on till
power is turned off. I can get 15 pnp transistors at the rat shack for about
US $2.50.
Am I better off buying the real thing or should I improvise? It's a onesy
twosey hobby project.
Thanks,
Joe
