Question

TRIAC is similar to_________.

A.

Two diodes connected in series back to back.

B.

Two SCR connected in series back to back.

C.

Two diodes connected in parallel.

D.

Two SCR connected in anti parallel.

Correct option is D


TRIAC is similar to two SCR connected in anti parallel.

A TRIAC (Triode for Alternating Current) is a semiconductor device that can conduct current in both directions and is widely used for AC power control. It is structurally equivalent to two SCRs (Silicon Controlled Rectifiers) connected in anti-parallel, which means their cathodes are connected to the opposite anodes, allowing bidirectional conduction when triggered.
S.C.R. (Silicon Controlled Rectifier)-

· It is four layer, three terminal and three junction device.
· It is a uni-directional device.
· It is a bipolar device.
