Thyristors can have many forms, Anode currents of 0.8 A to 10 A rms can be controlled by sensitive but they have certain commonalities. All thyristors are solid state gate SCRs with gate drive currents ranging from 12 µA to 500 µA. switches that are normally open circuits (very high impedance), Sensitive gate SCRs are ideally suited for interfacing to integrated capable of withstanding rated blocking/off-state voltage until trig- circuits or in applications where high current load requirements and gered to on state.
