Hello world of -all about circuits- I am halfway through creating my first circuit and have reached a situation... I dont know which prongs on a SCR or Diode are the anode, cathode, and such. I looked at them under a magnifying glass -twice- and have yet to notice anything.
If anyone can help me now it would be great, Ill post some pictures in a bit.
EDIT: The SCR looks "like" this, not the exact one but similar http://media.digikey.com/photos/STMicro%20Photos/TOP3.jpg
The Diode looks "like" this too, but there is 1 major difference, the middle prong of mine is attached to one on the side http://rocky.digikey.com/weblib/IXYS/Web%20Photos/New%20Photos/TO-247AD.jpg
