P3203AB

TVS – Thyristors

A thyristor is a semiconductor device that is widely used as a switch and sometimes as a voltage regulator to regulate electrical voltage for different applications. Thyristors are made of a solid-state material and are controlled by a gate voltage or current that provides an electrical switching action when triggered.

Thyristors are available in many shapes and sizes and can be used as single- or multi-element units that can be controlled with either a single, dual, or multiple gate inputs. A thyristor, also known as a SCR (silicon-controlled rectifier), is composed of four layers of silicon semiconductor material. Each layer containsP-N junctions, and they are typically arranged in a three-layer configuration, sharing two common junctions.
