A DIAC is a full-wave or bi-directional semiconductor switch that can be turned on in both forward and reverse polarities.

Can a diac trigger scr?

No, a Diac cannot trigger an SCR because when the Diac turns ON, the current through the Diac is around 9 mA. The gate threshold current of an SCR is typically 5 mA, which is less. So the SCR can get damaged due to this high gate current.

Is Four pairs of SCRs are equivalent to a DIAC?

Four pairs of SCRs (Silicon Controlled Rectifiers) can be configured to function similarly to a DIAC (Diode for Alternating Current) in terms of their ability to conduct current when a certain threshold voltage is reached. However, while a DIAC is a specific device designed for triggering in AC applications, SCRs are more versatile and typically used in DC applications or as controlled switches in AC circuits. The primary difference lies in their operational characteristics; DIACs switch on and off based on voltage, while SCRs require a gate signal to trigger. Thus, while they can achieve similar functionality, they are not directly equivalent.
