- Thyristor - Wikipedia
A thyristor is used in conjunction with a Zener diode attached to its gate, and if the output voltage of the supply rises above the Zener voltage, the thyristor will conduct and short-circuit the power supply output to ground (in general also tripping an upstream breaker or fuse)

A thyristor is a type of semiconductor that has three electrodes: anode, cathode and gate Learn how they work and what applications they are used for
- Thyristor or Silicon Controlled Rectifier Tutorial
In this thyristor tutorial, we will look at the construction and operation of the thyristor, also known as a Silicon Controlled Rectifier, or SCR in more detail, and see that it is basically a four-layer semiconductor device which can be used in various switching applications

What is a Thyristor? A thyristor is a semiconductor device that works as a switch in electronic circuits It is a four-layered device with three p-type and one n-type silicon layer The layers are alternately stacked and connected through a metal electrode The two p-type layers are connected through a region called the p-n-p-n structure

What is a Thyristor? A thyristor is a four-layer solid-state semiconductor device that contains 3 PN junctions in series having 3 terminals called anode, cathode, and gate Like a diode, a thyristor is a unidirectional device as well but unlike diode, it can be used as an open circuit switch
