Difference Between SCR, DIAC and TRIAC

In power electronics, the SCR, DIAC, and TRIAC are three common semiconductor devices that are very useful in electric power control and conversion applications. Though they all belong to the thyristor family, their operation, structure, and applications differ significantly. Here’s a detailed explanation of SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier), DIAC (Diode for Alternating Current), and TRIAC […]
