Thyristor (Silicon Controlled Rectifier)
Watching Pure Electronics Repair. Learn Methodical Fault Finding Techniques / Methods To Fix Almost Anything I learned that a thyristor—which is also known as a Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR)—is a type of TRIAC.
The name “silicon controlled rectifier” is General Electric’s trade name for a type of thyristor.
Number pad
I have various workspaces in my lab, and I call one of them my “booth”. It’s called the booth because I use it when I need to take photos of things which I’m selling on eBay, usually Xbox consoles or games.
Anyway the booth is also setup with two video cameras, one for a view of the booth bench and the other for a view of my face while I am working in the booth. There’s a retractable drawer bolted under the booth bench too which is full of breadboard jumper wires, so this is the place where I do some of my electronics projects, particularly my Maxitronix X in 1 projects. It’s also a convenient workspace when I’m breadboarding something, as I have ready access to my component drawers above.
Today I’ve installed a number pad in the booth so that I can control my cameras in OBS Studio while I’m working at that bench:
Studio upgrade
The computer I’m using to do the recording for In The Lab With Jay Jay is called ‘wonder‘ and it only has six USB ports. I currently have ten USB cameras, and I’m getting more, so I don’t have as many USB ports as I can use. Also ‘wonder’ only has 2TB capacity (non-RAID) for storing the videos I record, which will probably get used up fairly quickly.
So I have been planning an upgrade for ‘wonder’ known as ‘victory‘. My new studio workstation ‘victory’ will have 52TB of RAID storage for video data, 2TB of SSD RAID storage for video recording, 12x USB ports on the back panel, and 4x USB ports on the front panel.
Along with this new studio workstation I intend to get a new camera, a Canon Rebel SL3.
Now all I need to do is save up a cool eight grand!

Today while watching EEVblog 1559 – PCB Design: Trace Current Rating I learned about the Saturn PCB Design Toolkit.

In this video I unbox my new NBD Camera. It’s cheap and terrible. I mounted it with an Arkon Wall Mount. In a future video I will demo my new camera setup. After we’ve done that we will replace the batteries in my friend’s hair trimmer. Riveting stuff! Stay tuned!
Note: I was confused while making this video, I thought the camera was a “HBD” camera, but it’s an “NDB” camera, and you will see me getting that wrong. Not a super important detail…

I was watching EEVblog #168 – How To Set Up An Electronics Lab and Dave suggested using chisel tips instead of conical tips, which inspired me to check what I was using and also to sort the tips I presently own into three categories:
- Chisel tips
- Other tips
- Conical tips
If you’re interested in soldering temperatures I wrote a follow-up post on that topic: soldering iron temperature.
