    How to test an SCR in TO-92 package

    I don't have a datasheet for it. Just ones for various manufacturers on the web. I'm repairing a device (paper shredder) and bought a bag of replacements from Amazon. Can you recommend a circuit? I'm new at this.

    How to test an SCR in TO-92 package

    I'm trying to test an SCR (it's labeled pcr406). I've tried testing several using the instructions in this video. Everything works the same way, indicating a good SCR, until the last step. I don't get continuity when I touch the red probe to the cathode and the black to the anode. Then I get a...

    [SOLVED] What does the last letter in the PCR406 identification code mean for SCRs?

    I'm replacing a defective SCR (TO-92). It has PCR406J printed on it. When shopping, I've noticed that there are some advertised as just PCR406, some with an S on the end and some with J. What does the suffix S or J (or none) mean?

    Can I add a step-down transformer to use a 220v DC power supply on 120v?

    I have a DC power supply made for a 220v country but I have 120v where I live. Can I just wire-in a step-down transformer between the mains and its internal power supply or is there more to it?

    Where to connect a ground

    That's the whole thing. I can't speak to whether it's drawn correctly or not. I think the way it works is that the Vertical and Horizontal get plugged into an oscilloscope and the two probes get connected to a component to be tested.

    Where to connect a ground

    Can someone tell me where the grounds in this schematic would be connected as a practical matter (where should the wires go)? While I'm specifically interested in this schematic, I'm also interested generally. Every circuit has a ground and the schematic usually just shows it floating around...

    Is this switch broken? Walkman WM-FX10

    I'm trying to repair an old Walkman and have come across a switch that I'm not sure about. It is described as a leaf spring switch, part #1-571-986-11. But it only has one leaf on it. I'm wondering if the other has broken off or if it is supposed to be this way. I've attached 2 photos. The...
