The DCR960G18 SCR from DYNEX is engineered for controlled power conversion and switching in industrial environments. As a phase control thyristor, it conducts during the forward portion of AC cycles once triggered and holds conduction until the current falls below the holding level, allowing phase-angle control of AC outputs. Its high current and voltage ratings, combined with excellent surge capability and efficient cooling design, make it suitable for use in controlled rectifiers, high power drives, static switches and high voltage power supplies.
