SCR's Please Educate Me :)
Lack of experience urges me to ask this question... Silicon Controlled Rectifiers seem to be very limited in scope of application. When substituted for a mechanical magnetic relay are SCR's that...

Will do. Next trip north is in early December. Wouldn't it be nice if that heavy looking cord was SOW 12 gauge? Some hospital green-dot plugs and receptacles I have purchased had nickel plated contacts. Inside the make up plugs all of the sheet metal clamps were almost twice the thickness. Until a person actually lays hands on a good brand of specification grade or any hospital green-dot plug and receptacle they really don't have a clue as to how much better electrical contact they give. I'm wondering if NEC and NEMA even have a mandatory specification for the how "brass" contacts are alloyed. For a fact, 90% copper and 10% zinc is a far cry from 60% copper and 40% zinc. Add a hint of phosphor to the 90/10 alloy and it turns it into a superior strength electrical contactor. Very high tensile and thermal strength. Couple that with a nylon body and the receptacle or plug is almost break proof. The nickel coating does not seem to add a whit of resistance to contacts.
This puppy is big enough to accept a small army of transient voltage protectors.
We shall see. Ordering this has made my day and my week.
No more traveling circus grade flopping power cords!
