See attached circuit. Circuit is designed to have the bulb light, when a very low amperage momentary switch is pressed. In the final circuit, the bulb will draw 4 to 5 amps for a short period of time when current is applied. Hence the need to protect the low amperage momentary switch.
I am stumped by the actions of the SCR, which after the initial triggering of the circuit, continues to remain closed, anode to cathode, even when no current is applied to the component.
I have separately tested this component, and it passes those tests. Do I just have this wired in correctly? Thanks!
