Hi,
I'm planning to use SCR in my circuit but im having a problem of trying to find a low power SCR. What I have is a circuit with 5v supply and current consumption of 20mA maximum. Is there any SCR suited for this operation? If not, what can you suggest for replacement? What ive come up so far are SCR's for high voltage/amps circuits.
By the way, here's what my circuit will do:
A pushbutton will be push momentarily, thus enabling the current flow to the circuit.
A PIC will disable the SCR by applying '0' to the gate of the SCR
Question: Will a '0' from the output of the PIC disable the SCR?
