Thyristors: "Current Magician" in the Electronic World

Thyristor is a small semiconductor device, which is known as the "current wizard" in the electronic field. It has controllable conductivity, allows current to flow smoothly, and the voltage drop is very low. In this paper, the working principle and application fields of thyristor will be discussed in depth to help readers better understand this magical device.

Magic "switch" of control terminal

The thyristor has a control terminal and two electrode terminals. The control terminal is like a magic "switch". As long as an electric pulse is applied to it, the thyristor can be changed from a high impedance state to a low-resistance conductive circuit. This controllable conductivity makes thyristors play an important role in electronic systems.

Reliable current control

The conduction state of the thyristor can be controlled by the control terminal, which means that we can make it in the conduction, disconnection or holding state as needed. Thyristors play an important role in motor drive, lighting control, frequency converter, voltage regulator, ultrasonic wave and other fields, making electronic equipment more intelligent and efficient.

An indispensable role

Thyristors play an indispensable role in modern electronic systems. Its controllable conductivity makes it play a key role in various electronic circuits and control systems, which brings more possibilities to our electronic world.
