A module is a separate unit of software or hardware. Typical characteristics of modular components include portability, which allows them to be used in a variety of systems, and interoperability, which allows them to function with the components of other systems. The term was first used in architecture.
A silicon-controlled rectifier is a semiconductor device that is used as a switch in an electrical circuit.It's a solid state direct current (DC) electronic switch. There is a ton of information including a detailed description of the SCR and a list of applications at the Wikipedia article.A link is posted below. silicon-controlled rectifier is a semiconductor device that is used as a switch in an electrical circuit.
1 A Silicon-Controlled Rectifier, or SCR, is essentially a Shockley diode with an extra terminal added. 2  This extra terminal is called the gate, and it is used to trigger the device into conduction (latch it) by the application of a small voltage.nijunction transistor: Although a unijunction transistor is not a thyristor, this device can trigger larger thyristors with a pulse at base B1. A unijunction transistor is composed of a bar of N-type silicon having a P-type connection in the middle.
