Question: What is the Difference Between a Silicon-controlled Rectifier (SCR) and a Triac?
Answer:
Silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) and triacs are both thyristors, meaning they are semiconductor devices which act as switches (not amplifiers).
The main difference between the two is that Silicon-controlled rectifiers swich direct current (DC),
while triacs swich alternating current (AC).
