Thyristors, otherwise known as Silicon-Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs), are considered today as important semiconductor components as they have the capability to control high power levels with a very low amount of electrical power.

The BT168E112, a type of SCR, is a four-pin device composed of an anode, cathode, gate, and control. It is a four-quadrant device, meaning it can be operated in both directions, and is mainly used in applications such as Uni-directional and Bidirectional, half-wave and full-wave controls, phase control as well as motor speed control.

The application field of a BT168E112 SCR consists mainly of three components. Firstly, it is capable of operating in a very high switching frequency due to its ability to handle large currents and voltages. Secondly, it is used in many industrial control circuits for providing better protection against inrush currents and over-voltages. Lastly, it is highly reliable and able to withstand harsh environmental conditions, making it suitable for outdoor applications.

The general principle of operation of BT168E112 SCRs is similar to that of other types of thyristors, in that they are essentially a switch that is controlled by an electrical signal. The SCR consists of three connecting channels, an anode, a cathode, and a gate. In order to switch the SCR on, a small current of the same polarity in the gate is required. Current will then flow in both directions across the anode and cathode, the magnitude of current being determined by the power source connected to them.

When the gate current is removed, the BT168E112 SCR switches off and current flow is interrupted. The process of turning the SCR off is explained as reverse triggering, or reverse bias operation, as the gate needs to be connected with a voltage of the opposite polarity in order to turn off the SCR. In this way, an SCR can be turned on and off remotely, making it suitable for applications such as motor speed control.

The BT168E112 SCR is mainly used in low-power applications, such as dimmers or speed controllers. It is highly reliable and is capable of withstanding very high temperatures. It is also capable of operating in both directions for carrying current, and has a fast switching speed. This makes it an ideal choice for applications such as uni-directional and bidirectional, half-wave and full-wave controls as well as phase control.

The BT168E112 SCR is composed of an anode, cathode, gate and control. When the gate is connected with a small current of the same polarity, current will flow in both directions across the anode and cathode, determining the magnitude of the current. By reversing the polarity of the gate current, the BT168E112 SCR can be turned off remotely. Its application field mainly consists of speed control, dimming, over-voltage protection, and light dimming, among others. It is also capable of operating in a very high switching frequency and is considered highly reliable.
