SUS - Silicon Unilateral Switch
is a type of thyristor used as a breakover device that conducts current in only one direction, it has a third terminal that is used to alter the breakover voltage if connected to a zener diode.
SBS - Silicon Bilateral Switch
is a type of thyristor used as a breakover device which is capable of triggering triacs, it has a lower breakover voltage compared to triacs.

What are the applications of silicon controlled switch?
voltage sensor, alarm circuit, Pulse generator, counter, register and timing circuits.
What is semi controlled switch?
A switch that is controlled by other electrical components.
What are the advantages of a silicon-controlled rectifier?
SILICON CONTROLLED RECTIFIER APPLICATIONS i) Speed control for motors ii) Temperature control for electric hot plate iii) Dimmer switch for domestic lighting iv) Dimmer control for stage lighting.
When An SCR conducts appreciable current?
And SCR will conduct appreciable current when it is gated "on" and thus "told" to conduct. A silicon controlled rectifier(SCR) is an electronically controlled DC switch, and the gate is the terminal to which the control voltage is applied. Use the link below to learn more.
What is a closed switch?
A normally closed switch is a switch that is normally closed. When you operate it, it opens.
What are the three terminals of a silicon bilateral switch?
Anode, Cathode and Gate. Like in a SCR
What is the definition of silicon diode?
A silicon diode is a tiny electronic component having two terminals, usually a switch or limiting device.
Is there a switch that can make current rapidly stop and go?
Yes, it is an electronic switch know as a triggered SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier)
What is a silicon-controlled rectifier?
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.
What are the applications of silicon controlled switch?
voltage sensor, alarm circuit, Pulse generator, counter, register and timing circuits.
When an SCR turns on it acts like n?
An SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) acts like a switch when turned on. It can also be used as a rectifier.
How will differentiate silicon and germanium diode from a group of diodes?
Simple, Use the multi-meter , switch to the diode option then connect the positive wire to the positive of diode n negative to the negative ( +ve wire red, -ve wire black) if the there is a reading of =~0.7V then it is silicon. and if it is =~ 0.3V then it is germanium.
What is semi controlled switch?
A switch that is controlled by other electrical components.
When an scr turns on it acts like a?
An SCR, a silicon-controlled rectifier, is a four-layer solid state current controlling device. When it turns on it acts like an electronic switch and rectifier.
What are the advantages of a silicon-controlled rectifier?
SILICON CONTROLLED RECTIFIER APPLICATIONS i) Speed control for motors ii) Temperature control for electric hot plate iii) Dimmer switch for domestic lighting iv) Dimmer control for stage lighting.

What are the Advantages and disadvantages of rectifiers?
There are different types of rectifiers including silicon controlled rectifiers. Advantages for this type of rectifier include that it can switch high voltages and is simple to control. Disadvantages include it cannot be turned off easily.
