The Silicon Controlled Switch was introduced in the [[1960s]] by [[General Electric]] and other [[semiconductor companies]] as part of efforts to expand the [[thyristor family]]. While the SCS provided additional control flexibility compared to [[SCRs]], it was gradually overshadowed by the advent of faster and more compact [[solid-state switching devices]], such as [[transistors]] and [[integrated circuits]]. |
