The SCR has only two states of operation i.e. it can be either fully ON or completely OFF hence SCR can as a switch. There is no “active” region of operation like a transistor.

VI Characteristics of SCR – Silicon Controlled Rectifier
The VI characteristics of SCR (silicon-controlled rectifier) is a graph of anode current Ia on the y-axis and anode to cathode voltage on the x-axis as shown in the graph. It describes the relationship between the voltage across the device and the current flowing through it. The characteristics in the reverse direction (anode to cathode […]
