Product Overview
Teccor 2N5062 is a sensitive gate silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) rated for 100 V repetitive off-state voltage and 0.8 A RMS forward current in a standard TO-92 package. With a maximum gate trigger current of 200 µA, it switches cleanly from low-level logic, integrated circuits, and sensitive detector networks without interposing driver stages.
Key Features
- 100 V peak repetitive off-state and reverse blocking voltage (V_DRM / V_RRM)
- 0.8 A RMS on-state conduction current (I_T(RMS))
- 200 µA maximum gate trigger current (I_GT) for direct low-power drive
- 0.8 V maximum gate trigger voltage (V_GT)
- 5 mA maximum holding current (I_H)
- Three straight, full-length wire leads for through-hole PCB or breadboard mounting
- Lead configuration: Pin 1 Cathode, Pin 2 Gate, Pin 3 Anode
Applications
- Switching fractional-horsepower AC or DC loads directly from discrete logic outputs
- Assembling solid-state relay, motor speed, and lamp control circuits on prototype boards
- Replacing failed sensitive SCRs in legacy test equipment, timing controls, and power supplies
- Building crowbar overvoltage protection and latching fault monitors for bench power rails
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the lead pinout for this TO-92 device?
Looking at the flat face of the package with the leads pointing downward, Pin 1 (left) is the Cathode, Pin 2 (center) is the Gate, and Pin 3 (right) is the Anode.
Can this SCR be driven directly from 3.3V or 5V logic?
Yes. The 200 µA maximum trigger current and 0.8 V trigger voltage allow direct switching from standard microcontrollers, CMOS, and TTL outputs without secondary amplification.
Why buy individual components here rather than a bulk surplus lot?
You receive genuine, cleanly marked parts in the exact quantity your project requires without having to purchase surplus bags of hundreds. Buying more pieces costs less each, and the price-break table on this page shows what each quantity costs. Shipping is $8 flat rate, free once the order passes $28, and orders leave the Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
From benchtop crowbar protection to legacy instrument repairs, a sensitive gate like this triggers cleanly on minimal drive. Keep a few ready on your bench for the next circuit that needs solid, dependable thyristor switching.
