Difference between the SCR and diode rectifier

Illustrate the difference between the SCR and diode rectifier?

E

Expert

Verified

Diode is a two terminal device, in SCR, the gate controls the rectifying. SCR is used in High frequency applications however diode is low frequency devices, SCR can be in high temperatures however not diode.
