Want this question answered?
It is a silicon-controlled rectifier, converting AC to DC for use in drawworks, mud pumps, etc.:silicon-controlled-rectifier
Because it is controlled by the gate current
silicon controlled rectifier is a 3 terminal 4 layer device which has 2 consecutive P N junctions here the three terminals called anode, cathode and gate gate controls the conduction of the scr but diode just conducts in forward bias and blocks in reverse bias
A silicon controlled rectifier falls into this category.
For the same reason that its used in transistors and resistors...Its a semiconductor.
conclusion of silicon control rectifier

i got no idea mate
Anode is positive, cathode is negative

An SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) acts like a switch when turned on. It can also be used as a rectifier.
A: A hockey pack package $300 a TO18 package $0.10
Because when reverse biased it behaves like any other rectifier/diode.
I have seen them used, yes. However it is rather rare now.

A silicon-controlled rectifier is a semiconductor device that is used as a switch in an electrical circuit. It's a solid state direct current (DC) electronic switch. There is a ton of information including a detailed description of the SCR and a list of applications at the Wikipedia article. A link is posted below.
