Description

This SCR (silicon controlled rectifier) is a replacement power-control semiconductor used on select appliances. It regulates current flow so heating and motor circuits switch reliably for normal operation. What it does:

• Acts as a solid-state switch to control power to heaters or motors when signaled by the appliance control
• Helps enable proper on/off cycling and prevents uncontrolled current flow
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as no heating, intermittent operation, or failure to switch power
• Designed for mounting on a chassis or heat sink and wire-terminated via the stud connection

What's included:

• One SCR

Install notes:

• Disconnect all power before starting work to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the part carefully; avoid touching semiconductor leads and follow electrostatic-discharge (ESD) precautions
• Confirm the part number on your appliance before ordering and compare terminal/stud fitment to the old unit
