What is Thyrectors Market?
Thyrectors is basically an electric switch to manage the output power of an electrical device by switching on and off the load circuit in intervals of time. Thyrectors is a one-way semiconductor solid-state device with four layers of alternating P and N type material. It comprises 3 electrodes i.e. Anode, Cathode and a Gate. Anode is the positive terminal and Cathode is the negative terminal. It acts as a diode. It has 2 layers of semiconductors specifically p-type and n-type sandwiched together to make a junction. The anode is connected to the outer p-layer, cathode to the outer n-layer and gate to the inner p-layer. It has three junctions particularly J1, J2, J3. It will either be forward biased or reverse biased. Based on the turning on and off capabilities and also the physical structure, Thyrectors are classified as: Silicon Controlled Thyristors (SCR), Emitter turn off Thyristors (ETO), Fast switching Thyristors (SCR), Light Activated silicon Controlled Rectifiers (LASCR), Gate turn off Thyristors (GTO), Reverse Conducting Thyristors (RCT), FET Controlled Thyristors (FET-CTH), MOS turn off Thyristors (MTO), Bidirectional phase Controlled Thyristors (BCT).
