Silicon Controlled Rectifier
In general, we use a lot of electrical and electronic components while making the circuits and electronics projects. The basic components mainly include resistors, capacitors, transistors, diodes, LEDs, inductors, thyristors or SCR (silicon controlled rectifiers), ICs (integrated circuits), and so on. Let us think the rectifiers which are categorized into two types namely diodes (uncontrolled rectifiers) and thyristors (controlled rectifiers). Actually, many engineering students, electronic hobbyists wish to know the basic function of an electrical and electronics components. But, here in this article gives an overview of the silicon controlled rectifier and its characteristics.
