force required to test these devices only has to be approx. 200 lbs.
SCRs/Thyristors
Diodes
NOTE : Diodes can have forward or reversed polarity. Polarity is determined by the direction
of the diode symbol stamped on the component, i.e. arrow pointing towards the stud (or base)
means forward polarity, arrow pointing towards the lead (or top) means reversed polarity.
