What is SCR?

SCR stands for Silicon Controlled Rectifier. It's a four-layer solid-state semiconductor device that controls electric current. SCRs primarily function as electronic switches for high-voltage applications and can handle high current levels, making them suitable for medium and high power AC phase control applications, such as light dimming, motor speed control, and inverters.
