NTE5426
Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR)
Sensitive Gate
Description:
The NTE5426 is silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) in an isolated tab TO220 type package. This device
may be switched from off–state to conduction by a current pulse applied to the gate terminal and is
designed for control applications in lighting, heating, cooling, and static switching relays.
