Le redresseur commandé au silicium ("SCR") appartient à quelle grande catégorie de composants?

  1. AVaristors
  2. BThyristors
  3. CBoucles à phase asservie ("PLL")
  4. DVaractors

Correct answer: B — Thyristors. Question tirée de la banque officielle d'ISDE.

Why

The silicon controlled rectifier, or SCR, belongs to the thyristor family because it is a four-layer semiconductor device that acts as a switch, turning on when triggered and staying on until the current stops. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
