A thyristor is a controlled rectifier where the unidirectional current flow from anode a to cathode k is initiated by a small signal current from gate g to cathode. There are numerous variations, including gateturn off gto devices that can be turned on or off by the action of the gate, agt anode gate thyristor devices that have a gate going to the internal ntype layer near the anode instead of the ptype layer near the cathode, photoelectric thyristors. The circuit operation depends on the state of the ac source and the firing angle. Available in 9 standard configurations, all devices offer full pressure contact construction for maximum reliability and performance at rated current.
