What is Bidirectional Thyristor?

Bidirectional Thyristor definition

Developed on the basis of ordinary thyristor, it can not only replace two reverse polarity parallel thyristor, and only one trigger circuit, is an ideal AC switching device.

Bidirectional Thyristor features

• The gate enables the device to trigger conduction in both directions of the positive and negative main electrodes

• Bidirectional thyristor gate plus positive and negative trigger pulse can make the tube trigger conduction, there are four trigger ways.

Main parameters of Bidirectional Thyristor

• Average on-state current

• Reverse repeated peak voltage

• Off-state repeat peak current

• On-state one cycle no recurrent surge current

• Peak on-state voltage

• Gate trigger current

• Gate trigger voltage

• Holding current
