A Silicon-Controlled Rectifier (SCR) and a Triac are both semiconductor devices used for power control applications, especially in AC and DC circuits. While SCR is a unidirectional device, the Triac is bidirectional. Both devices have unique characteristics that determine their performance and applications.

### Characteristics of SCR (Silicon-Controlled Rectifier)
SCR is a four-layer, three-terminal semiconductor device with an anode (A), cathode (K), and gate (G). It operates as a controlled rectifier and functions as a switch in DC and AC circuits.

1. Unidirectional Conductance
- SCR conducts current only in one direction, from anode to cathode.
- It blocks reverse voltage, making it suitable for DC applications.
