SCR or Silicon Controlled Rectifiers are Bipolar junctions Transistor ( Thyristor Family), SCRs are made of two transistors thats why they PNPN or NPNP devices.
The three important parts of transistor are - Emitter, Collector & Base.
& the Three Important parts of SCR are - Anode, Cathode & Gate.
Use of SCRs- rectification of high power AC & power control applications, such as lamp dimming, regulators and motor control.
Use of Transistors - switch, audio, high voltage, amplifiers, switcher

What is the difference between an SCS and an SCR?
An SCS has an additional gate - the anode gate. It is physically smaller than an SCR and has smaller leakage and holding currents than an SCR.
2 transistor analogy for scr and derivation for expression of anode current?
a thyristor can be considered as two complementary transistors , one pnp- transistor, and other npn transistor
What is the difference between npn and pnp transistor in the application?
There is no difference they perform the same functions.
What is the difference between capacitor and transistor?
transistor either increase or decrease current bt capacitor stores the energy
What is the difference between an SCR and a TRIAC?
A thyristor is another name for an SCR, which stands for Silicon Controlled Rectifier.Thyristors or SCRs are bi-directional devices used to control the flow of AC current. Once triggered, the device remains "on" until the next wave of current crosses zero after the trigger is removed.For more information about thyristors or SCRs see the Related link shown below.
