A diode mainly consists of only 2 terminals(anode,cathode).A SCR mainly contains one more terminal called GATE.The main purpose of the gate in an SCR is just to provide pulses.The main draw back of SCR is it is not fully controllable device.

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
Difference between gunn diode and pin diode?
gunn diode is transfered electron device & PIN diode is semiconductor device
What is difference between power diode and ordinary diode?
the High voltage rated diodes are power diodes while of low rating or normal voltage rating are considered to as ordinary / normal diode
What are the difference between Ge and Si diode?
the energy required to break covalent bond in si is 1.1ev and in ge is 0.7ev
What is the function of a SCR?
A Silicon Controlled Rectifier - also known as a thyristor - is a diode with an added terminal whereby, by applying a "control voltage", the diode can be turned "on" but never "off".When supplied with alternating current an SCR or thyristor will always turn off whenever the current falls back to zero in every cycle.For more information see the Related Link shown below.In the case of a computer file, it's the extension type .scr used for a screen saver.
How do you use scr as a diode?
scr is basically a three terminal device can be used as diode by leaving one terminal

Scr firing circuit diagram with diode?
K = 1 [π − α + 1 sin(2α )] is the formula of calculating the SCR firing circuit diagram with diode.
Is a diode controllable?
The SCR and TRIAC are essentially controlled diodes.
What is the difference between a DIAC and a TRIAC?
A DIAC is simply a diode that breaks down at predictable voltage.A TRIAC is a 3 terminal device that will conduct whether the anode is at a positive or a negative potential, controlled by a gate.Another answerThey are AC versions of the SCR and diode respectively. Do you need more details?
What is the difference between a 1N4007 diode and a 1N4007S diode what does the s do?
The difference in the 1N4007 diode and the 1N4007S diode is the voltage. The 1N4007S has a higher voltage but the meaning of the S is not listed.
Is SCR is a switch?
I's a electronic component that act like a controlled diode. It can be used as a switch on some applications, but with some limits. 1- A SCR is a diode, and as such, it only conduct in one direction. 2-The SCR only turn off when the current passing it reaches zero.
What is the difference between an ideal zener diode and practical zener diode?
Zener diode is heavily doped pn junction diode.
Difference between gunn diode and pin diode?
gunn diode is transfered electron device & PIN diode is semiconductor device
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.
