The S2008L thyristor, manufactured by Semikron, is a three-terminal device with two leads (anodes) connected together internally. It belongs to a family of thyristors, i.e. Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs).

An SCR is a three-terminal semiconductor device, commonly referred to as a thyristor. It is used as a switch in electronic circuits, typically to control a high current or voltage load. The device is composed of four layers of semiconductors (p-type and n-type material). By applying a suitable gate voltage, the junction between these layers can be made conductive, allowing current to flow through the entire device.

In an S2008L device, the three terminals are the anode, cathode and gate. The anode and cathode are connected internally and externally to the respective circuit components. The gate is connected to a logic input and is used to turn the device on and off. A positive voltage applied between the gate and cathode will turn the device on and a negative voltage will turn it off.

The main application of the S2008L thyristor is in motor control, where it is used to control a motor’s speed and direction. The device operates by applying pulses of alternating current (AC) to the motor. The pulses are controlled by an electronic controller which supplies the gate current. This current causes the thyristor to conduct at a specific frequency, controlling the motor’s speed and direction.

These thyristors are also used in circuits for switching high voltages and/or currents and for controlling the output of power supplies. The device is also used in phase control applications such as AC phase control and phase shifting and for applications where high levels of leakage current are required (e.g. in power rectifiers).

The main operating principle of the S2008L thyristor is the same as that of other thyristors. When forward biased, the n-type and p-type semiconductor layers form a junction. When the junction is forward biased, a small electric current flows through the semiconductor layers and turns on the thyristor.

The device is then turned off when the gate voltage is reversed. This reverses the current flow, allowing the junction to become non-conductive. Thus, the device can be used to switch on and off high currents and voltage loads.

The S2008L thyristor is a widely used device in the electronic control and power management industry. It has wide application in controlling motors and other high voltage/high current loads. It is a reliable and cost effective device, offering superior performance and reliability.
