Thyristors
Thyristors are four-layer semiconductor devices (SCRs, TRIACs, DIACs) used for controlled AC power switching in motor speed controls, dimmers, soft starters, and industrial heaters. Once triggered, thyristors remain latched in the conducting state until current drops below the holding threshold, making them ideal for phase-controlled AC power regulation.

Thyristors (including Silicon Controlled Rectifiers - SCRs and DIACs) are four-layer active semiconductor components designed for high-power, unidirectional AC power switching and control. Once triggered by a small gate current pulse, a thyristor remains in a latching conducting state until the forward current drops below a holding threshold, providing highly reliable solid-state switching for high-voltage, high-current industrial applications.
Thyristors are widely used in industrial motor speed controls, phase-controlled AC-DC rectifiers, soft starters, and high-energy pulse discharge circuits. Key specifications focus on repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM), RMS on-state current (IT(RMS)), gate trigger current (IGT), dV/dt immunity (preventing accidental triggering from rapid voltage changes), and rugged packages (TO-220, TO-247, Thyristor modules).
