  • Reverse blocking triode thyristors;
  • Reverse conductor (triode) thyristors;
  • Bidirectional triode thyristors (triacs);
  • Shutdown thyristors.

All definitions are written in terms of triode thyristor. Where appropriate, they are also applied to diode thyristors. All definitions of power and power dissipation refer to the product of the anode or main current and the anode or mains voltage, unless otherwise stated. Definitions are general. They do not consider that the start and end of a given time interval need to be defined in order to make the specifications for the derived "mean partial power loss" and "partial energy loss" characteristics meaningful. However, guidance for specifying these deadlines is given in the relevant notes.

The terms defined refer to the switching of a closing thyristor from its on state to its closed state via a reverse gate driver current pulse supported by an additional reverse gate driver voltage pulse followed by a smaller pulse.

A curve showing the maximum nominal values ​​against ambient or case temperature or heatsink temperature for full sine waves and under phase control conditions. As a reference value for certain properties, for example, the limit value for full sine waves at an ambient temperature of 45°C or an enclosure temperature of 85°C or any other specified temperature should be given.
