Because it is controlled by the gate current
Difference between silicon-controlled rectifier and diode?
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
What is designed to use a small current to control a large current?
