I know what a triac is (including the sharing of silicon between the SCRs). But how is this different than an SSR? And what is an alternistor? I see the word mentioned, but Googling only turns up products and no explanations.
THe only thing I found on alternistors was that an alterinstor is ACTUALLY two SCRs in parallel (no sharing of silicon). But this was just a couple sentences off of an small forum, and I drew the conclusion myself that he meant they did not share silicon. So I'm not sure.
