The present disclosure provides a silicon controlled rectifier and a manufacturing method thereof. The silicon controlled rectifier comprises: an N-type well 60, an upper portion of which is provided with a P-type heavily doped region 20 and an N-type heavily doped region 28; an N-type well 62, an upper portion of which is provided with a P-type heavily doped region 22 and an N-type heavily doped region 26; and a P-type well 70 connecting the N-type well 60 and 62, an upper portion of which is provided with a P-type heavily doped region 24; wherein a first electrode structure is in mirror symmetry with a second electrode structure with respect to the P-type heavily doped region 24, and active regions of the N-type well 60 and 62 are respectively provided between the P-type heavily doped region 24 and each of the N-type heavily doped region 28 and 26.
