A thyristor is a type of solid-state semiconductor that is composed of four semiconductor layers and allows electrical current to flow through it when positively or negatively charged. The 2N4364 is an example of a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR), which is a type of thyristor. It is a three terminal device with one gate terminal, one cathode terminal and one anode terminal. The device is used to regulate and control voltage and current in a variety of applications such as DC motor control, lighting, heating and melting.

The 2N4364 is basically a three-terminal silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) with a symbol similar to a diode. It is used in similar circuit operations as with a diode but the difference is that a gate current must be applied to the gate terminal to turn it on and once on, it remains on until the current is removed or the voltage across the junction drops below the holding voltage. It has a wide operating temperature range from -65°C to +175°C.

The working principle of 2N4364 is simple. It has two electrodes, the anode and the cathode, and a gate terminal. When the gate terminal of the CR is triggered, it allows a positive current to flow from the anode to the cathode and remains on until the gate current is removed or the voltage across the junction drops below the holding voltage. This means that the gate terminal must be driven from an external circuit to turn on and off the current.

The 2N4364 is mainly used in DC motor control and switching applications due to its ability to control and block AC and DC current of large magnitude. It is also used in welding, over current protection and surge protection applications since it can reduce the voltage when the current is too high. The device is also used in lighting fixtures, industrial heating, and melt control.

The advantages of using 2N4364 are that they are robust and reliable, they have a fast switching speed, they can be easily configured into needed circuits, and they can operate at high frequencies. The disadvantages include its inability to switch large peak currents, high leakage current levels and reduced life due to high junction temperatures.

In summary, the 2N4364 SCR is a type of thyristor that is used for dc motor control and switching, as well as surge protection, welding and over current protection. It is an advantageous device, though it is also prone to leakage current and high junction temperatures. Nevertheless, when used correctly, the 2N4364 can be a reliable and durable choice for a variety of industrial applications.
