Re: Silicon Controlled Rectifier

An SCR is kind of similar to a transistor, yet significantly different. An SCR acts like an electronic switch, that once a current is applied to the gate, current can flow through anode and cathode until the current is removed from the entire device, compared to a transistor where the current has to only be removed from the gate.
