I can't get this SCR working.
Are all SCRs suppost to be connected in the same way?
(The - of both power sources to K, + of HV to A & + of trigger source to G)
Could you recomend an easy wayto test if a SCR is working or not? 2 batterypacks of 3v and some light emitting diodes)

I usually test with a 12v battery (car battery, or a lantern battery) and a 12v incandescant bulb. This takes more current than an LED and therefore avoids any chance that the SCR turns itself off at that low current. A car headlamp will probably draw 3 amps (36 watts) or so.
Good luck, Barry
