About this product
The MCR100-8 is a low-power, sensitive-gate silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) in a small SMD package, rated for 600V repetitive off-state voltage and 0.8A RMS on-state current. The listing calls it a TRIAC, but the MCR100 series is a unidirectional thyristor, used for low-power switching and control such as triggering from a microcontroller circuit.

Frequently asked questions
What is the price of MCR100-8 SMD Sensitive-Gate Thyristor (SCR) 600V 0.8A SOT-23 in Egypt?
MCR100-8 SMD Sensitive-Gate Thyristor (SCR) 600V 0.8A SOT-23 currently costs 3 EGP in Egypt.
Where can I buy MCR100-8 SMD Sensitive-Gate Thyristor (SCR) 600V 0.8A SOT-23 in Egypt?
MCR100-8 SMD Sensitive-Gate Thyristor (SCR) 600V 0.8A SOT-23 is available from Makers Electronics. Compare the offers above to find the best price.
Can I use it to switch AC loads like a TRIAC?
Not directly. It is a unidirectional SCR and conducts only during one half-cycle of AC. For full-wave AC control, use a bridge rectifier or a true TRIAC.
How is it wired and triggered?
It has three terminals: anode, cathode and gate. A gate current of about 200uA (listed Igt) triggers conduction, and it stays on until the current falls below the holding current (5mA listed).
