Reverse blocking thyristors (RY2A) are devices used in an array of applications to control and switch electrical current. Most commonly found in industrial settings, they provide an effective means of managing and controlling power without causing physical damage to other components of a system. The most common field of application for RY2A is industrial automation, but they can also be found in consumer electronics and home appliances. RY2A are used in a variety of control and switching applications, including motor control, power factor correction, switching of circuits and bridges, and remote control systems.

RY2A are designed to block electrical current in both directions until a voltage threshold is reached. The device does not begin conducting until its anode receives a positive voltage of at least twice its current level. When the anode voltage reaches this threshold, the chromium and manganese diodes that make up the thyristor enter into a reverse breakdown state, allowing electrical current to flow. After the anode has reached the threshold voltage, it stays in this conducting state and will not switch off until the anode voltage is reduced to zero.

An RY2A typically consists of three junction-field thyristors, also known as three-layer thyristors. This type of thyristor is composed of two oppositely doped layers, with a third layer forming a junction between the two. The two oppositely doped layers are known as the cathode and anode, and they are connected to the two ends of the circuit. Once the voltage threshold is reached in the anode, the junction between the two layers begins to conduct electrons, allowing current to flow throughout the circuit.

When the current in an RY2A is too high or reaches a maximum level, an anti-parallel diode, also known as a freewheeling diode, is then attached. This diode prevents high voltage from reaching the circuit, allowing the current to be sustained at a constant level and preventing a voltage spike. This type of diode keeps the circuit operating effectively and efficiently, reducing the amount of noise generated by the circuit.

RY2A are widely used in industrial applications to switch high-power electrical circuits on and off. They are the most basic form of thyristor and the most commonly used devices in switching circuits, as they are both cost-effective and easy to control. In addition to their application in industrial motor control and power factor correction, RY2A can also be found in remote control systems, battery charging equipment and home appliances such as washing machines and refrigerators.

RY2A have become an integral part of modern industrial and consumer electronics and have proven to be an invaluable tool for controlling and managing power. This is due to the flexibility and reliability of reverse blocking thyristors, which are capable of switching high power without causing physical damage to other components of a circuit. This makes them a perfect choice for applications requiring protection against overloads and sudden overvoltages.
