Capsule Type Thyristor: The core component of power electronic equipment
Capsule-type thyristor is a semiconductor switching device with high withstand voltage, high current, and high-speed switching characteristics. It is usually composed of semiconductor chips, metal electrodes, ceramic packages, and other parts. It has the advantages of small size, lightweight, high voltage resistance, fast switching speed, stable and reliable performance, etc. It is widely used in power conversion and control systems in power electronic equipment. And switching power supply and other fields.
The working principle of the packaged thyristor is based on the unidirectional conductivity of the PN junction and the amplification effect of the PNP transistor. It is a PNPN four-layer three-terminal device composed of three PN junctions with high withstand voltage, large current, and high-speed switching characteristics. When the packaged thyristor is subjected to the forward anode voltage, a trigger signal needs to be applied to the control electrode to make the PN junction between the control electrode and the cathode conductive, and then the PN junction between the anode and the cathode also conducts, thereby achieving The flow of large currents. At this time, the packaged thyristor is equivalent to a conducting switch, and its resistance is very small. Once the current drops to zero or a reverse voltage is applied, the packaged thyristor will remain in the off state, and its resistance will be very high. At this time, it is equivalent to an open switch.
Characteristics of packaged thyristors

1. Power conversion: Packaged thyristors play an important role in power conversion, such as DC conversion and AC conversion, achieving efficient conversion and distribution of electric energy.
2. Power system: In the power system, packaged thyristors are used to control current, regulate voltage, stabilize the system, etc., to improve the stability and reliability of the power system.
3. Motor control: In the control of motor starting, speed regulation, braking, etc., packaged thyristors can achieve precise control and efficient operation of the motor.
4. New energy fields: In new energy fields such as wind energy and solar energy, packaged thyristors are used in applications such as power conversion and energy recovery.
How to use and pay attention to packaged thyristors
When using packaged thyristors, the following steps and precautions should be followed:
1. Select a suitable packaged thyristor: According to the actual application requirements, select a packaged thyristor that meets parameters such as voltage, current, and switching speed.
2. Correct connection method: When connecting packaged thyristors, ensure that the pins are connected correctly to avoid short circuits or open circuits. At the same time, appropriate heat dissipation devices should be selected to ensure that the temperature of the packaged thyristor remains within a safe range.
3. Correct application of the trigger signal: When controlling the conduction and cut-off of the packaged thyristor, the correct application of the trigger signal should be ensured to avoid false triggering or failure to trigger.
4. Consider the switching characteristics of packaged thyristors: Since the switching characteristics of packaged thyristors are closely related to the working environment temperature, good heat dissipation design should be considered during use to avoid performance degradation or damage caused by overheating.
5. Avoid repeated triggering: Multiple triggering of the packaged thyristor in a short period may cause its performance to decrease or be damaged, so repeated triggering should be avoided during use.
6. Pay attention to safety: Since packaged thyristors work in high-voltage and high-current environments, you should pay attention to safety when using them to avoid risks such as electric shock or burns.
As one of the core components of power electronic equipment, packaged thyristors are widely used in various fields due to their excellent electrical performance and reliability. During use, one should fully understand its characteristics and application areas and follow correct usage methods and precautions to ensure full performance and stable operation of the equipment.
