2N6509G thyristor – the multifunctional device for power electronics applications
2N6509G is a semiconductor component commonly known as silicon thyristor (Thyristor) or turn-off thyristor (Gate-turnoff Thyristor, GTO). It is a switching device with high power, high withstand voltage, and high current characteristics, and it is widely used in the field of power electronics.
A silicon thyristor is a four-layer semiconductor device with three poles: anode (A), cathode (K), and control pole (G). In some cases, the control electrode is also called the gate electrode. When the control electrode receives a specific voltage, the PN junction inside the silicon thyristor will conduct, causing current to flow from the anode to the cathode. When the voltage on the control electrode is removed or reduced to a certain level, the PN junction will return to the blocking state.
