SCR Rectifier

Silicon Rectifiers are widely used in Electroplating, It covers a wide range starting from 25A to 10000A at different output voltages. silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) uses relatively low frequency switching and phase shift technology.

A Silicon Controlled Rectifier is a 3 terminal and 4-layer semiconductor current controlling device. It is mainly used in the devices for the control of high power. Silicon controlled rectifier is also sometimes referred to as SCR diode, 4-layer diode, 4-layer device, or Thyristor. It is made up of a silicon material which controls high power and converts high AC current into DC current (rectification). Hence, it is named as silicon controlled rectifier.
