Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could help me identify this part or where can I buy from? I couldn't figuring out who was making this chip cause i been asking around and no one seem to be able to recognized it and I urgent need replacement part for this.

Thanks all,
Paul

Since it says SCR210 right on it, I'd assume it's an SCR, also know as thyristor. It appears to be operated in forward voltage breakdown mode, where the gate is intentionally left open.

Was that a battery charger?

It could be the Anode lead is cut but is common to the tab, and the tab makes the circuit connection when screwed to the Heat sink?
Max.
Correct, it's a 2-leg SCR, the Anode must be connected at the heatsink tag, and heatsink is probably live. I haven't seen one of those SCRs in a long time.

It was a circuit board in my walkie forklift. Before it broke we were able to charge direct from wall 110v to 12v DC battery via converter. But now the DC Amp gauge no longer indicate charging and what we found was one of SCR210's leg was broken.

The fact it is a charger (DC), it most likely IS a SCR, there is no sign of a circuit board connection for the centre lead, so it could be the tab that makes connection?
If so and the part is defective (or broken), the part in post 2 could well do the trick, if re-soldering does not work?
Max.

Hi all,

If it was broke on the leg, I shouldn't have problem re-soldering but it was broken right at the bottom of the chip.

The leg that was broken (middle ) will possibly be connected to the metal tab,
No they are made without a middle leg. The tag is used as the thrid connection. :)

Re the corrosion; Yech! How big is this "12v battery" that this device will charge? You might be able to get rid of that old PCB and SCRs and put in a more modern solution.

Even if that PCB still works it will not be for very long.
