We know you can’t afford to keep every electronic component, be it an integrated circuit or specialty electronic part, on-hand without running out of space at your warehouse. Luckily, we’re going to let you in on the biggest little secret in the electronic parts industry. Surplus Electronics suppliers.  You can find thousands of vendors that are buying and selling used and surplus electronic parts and electronic components. The majority of which, offer you warranties on the products they buy and sell.

The Surplus Electronic Industry is growing, right alongside with the technology parts it provides. That means better prices, better access to the parts you are looking for, and of course, better service. IC Plus is one such company.

Thyristors – the choice electronic component for supplying power to circuits.

buy surplus thyristors

If your electronic component needs include dealing with large sources of power, you may be in the market for thyristors. Also known as silicon controlled rectifiers (SCR), a thyristor is a four-layer semiconductor that is built to handle large amounts of power. The thyristor’s specialty is controlling power circuits. The thryristor electronic parts can be turned off or on, but typically can only be turned off by switching the direction of the current.  In addition to being turned off and on, thyristors can allow the amount of power to be controlled by adjusting the angle of the current. A simple example of this type of use is the dimmer on a light switch.

The idea for the thyristor was conceived in the 1950’s, by one of the creators of the transistor, but it didn’t gain popularity until a decade later when it was brought to the general consumer market by General Electric.  Thyristors soon became the choice electronic components to buy for supplying power circuits.

In the early 1970’s the electronic parts were even being used in color televisions to help stabilize power their supplies. Thyristors also have a long history of use in the motion picture industry and theaters where they replaced older technology.

Thyristors work differently from other electronic components as no current actually flows across the device. When a power supply is connected to the device a small amount flows into the gate and the thyristor fires and conducts. The thyristor then remains conducting until the power supply is removed. .

The electronic components are generally made from silicon because it can handle high voltage and power currents. Silicon is also known for its thermal properties. Silicon is also affordable and can be bought and sold cheaply for manufacturing use.

Analogue electronics often make use of thyristor technology. Thyristor circuits are widely used and available at affordable prices. IC Plus is a certified electronic component distributor and has access to stocks of newer and obsolete surplus thyristor components. The company sells surplus thyristors made from all kinds of manufacturers.
