Thyristors are a special type of semiconductor components, also known as silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs). They are widely used in a range of electronic circuits. Basically, these electronic components work as a switch, controlling the flow of electricity in a circuit. Consequently, thyristors can be found in any electrical device and are essential for the functioning of many consumer electronics products.

Thyristors are classified according to their characteristics and application fields. Among them, SCRs (silicon-controlled rectifiers) are the most simple and common type, found in a variety of electronic applications. SCRs are basically semiconductor devices that are capable of blocking alternating current (AC) but can have a current or voltage applied in the right direction to the gate which makes them switch on, allowing the current to flow.

In terms of application field, thyristors / SCRs are mainly used as power switches in industrial applications and motor drives because they are capable of handling large amounts of power with lower losses than other types of switches. They are also used as phase control devices to control the voltage applied to AC circuits and DC switching devices for pulsed power. Furthermore, these components are now being used in various consumer appliances such as televisions, washing machines, and dishwashers, due to their low cost and high reliability.

The working principle of a thyristor / SCR is based on the principle of a two-junction PNPN diode. The semiconductor junction of SCRs consists of four N-type silicon layers, with alternating P-type layers sandwiched between the layer, forming a PNPN diode. From these, the gate electrode is usually attached to the second P- type layer. When the anode to cathode is positive, the gate to cathode is negative, this device then remains off (no current flows). If the gate to cathode bias is reversed (positive), current can then flow between the anode and the cathode.

In other words, the working principle of SCRs can be defined as: When the cathode is more negative than the gate relative to the anode, the device remains off. But when the gate to cathode is made more positive than the cathode to anode voltage, the device turns on and allows current to flow from the anode to cathode.

The advantages of using SCRs include their high efficiency, low power consumption, low losses, fast switching ability, and simplicity of control. Furthermore, they have a wide range of applications, including motor speed control, circuit control, power control, and process control. In terms of disadvantages, SCRs have poor frequency response, non-linear voltage drop, and lack of dynamic control.

In conclusion, SCRs are widely used in various applications due to their excellent, high-efficiency characteristics. Their application field and working principles have been explained in this article. Thinking of SCRs and their advantages, they truly represent a versatile and cost-effective solution in the modern world of electronics.
