Phase Control Thyristors, WeEn SemiconductorsThyristors - WeEn SemiconductorsA Thyristor is a solid-state semiconductor device with four layers of alternating N and P-type material. They act as bistable switches, conducting when their gate receives a current trigger, and continue to conduct while they are forward biased. Thyristors are synonymous to Silicon-Controlled Rectifier (SCR).Planar passivated Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) in a SOT78 plastic package intended for use in applications requiring high bidirectional blocking voltage capability, high surge current capability and high thermal cycling performance.Key FeaturesHigh bidirectional blocking voltage capabilityHigh surge current capabilityHigh thermal cycling performanceThyristors - WeEn SemiconductorsA Thyristor is a solid-state semiconductor device with four layers of alternating N and P-type material.
