SCR Lamp Flasher
Product Code : JA-PET-1429
The SCR lamp flasher trainer studies SCRs in a DC lamp flasher and a TRIAC in an AC flasher. A UJT 2N2646 relaxation oscillator triggers the SCR DC flasher, whose repetition rate changes with the oscillator frequency, and the same DC flasher switches a TRIAC that drives a 230 V, 40 W incandescent lamp (SKU JA-PET-1429).

Flasher experiments
The listed experiments are:
- Symmetrical DC flasher using two SCRs and two LEDs
- High-power AC flasher, with the TRIAC switching a 230 V, 40 W lamp
- Changing the flash repetition rate by varying the relaxation oscillator frequency
Scope of supply and ordering
The listing covers the SCR lamp flasher board with its 40 W load lamp, patch cords and operating instructions, supplied by JaincoLab. Pack quantities, packing method and lead time are fixed on the quotation.
Frequently asked questions
How is the flash rate adjusted?
With the potentiometer that varies the frequency of the UJT relaxation oscillator; the repetition rate follows that frequency.
What load does the AC flasher switch?
A normal 230 V, 40 W incandescent lamp, switched on and off by a 4 A/400 PIV TRIAC.
Can the DC and AC flashers be run separately?
Yes. There are two toggle switches, one for the DC flasher and one for the AC flasher.
