what is the differnce between SCR and diode rectifier?

Answer Posted / israr ahmad

A silicon-controlled rectifier (or semiconductor-controlled
rectifier) is a four-layer solid state device that controls
current. The name "silicon controlled rectifier" or SCR is
General Electric's trade name for a type of thyristor.In
SCR the gate terminal controlled the rectification, used in
high power circuits.
on the other hand diod is two terminal device used in
rectification but we can not control it, used in low power
circuits.
