Description

The TIC106M / TIC106D is a Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) designed for efficient power switching and control in electronic circuits. It is widely used in applications requiring reliable handling of high voltage and current loads.

Encased in a TO-220 package, this SCR is easy to mount and suitable for heat dissipation in power electronics systems. It supports a continuous current of up to 5A and can withstand high peak surge currents up to 30A, making it ideal for demanding applications.

The TIC106 series offers different voltage variants:

• TIC106D: up to 400V
• TIC106M: up to 600V
• Higher variants available for even greater voltage ratings

One of its key advantages is its low gate trigger current (≈200µA), allowing it to be easily driven by low-power control circuits such as microcontrollers or simple triggering circuits.

The device operates by acting as an electronic switch: once triggered via the gate, it allows current to flow between anode and cathode until the current drops below a holding level. This makes it highly effective for AC phase control and switching applications.

Key Applications

• Light dimmers and AC power regulators
• Motor speed control systems
• Heater and temperature control circuits
