A thyristor is a solid-state switch. It allows current to flow when triggered and stays on until the current stops. It’s used in power control and circuit protection. You’ll find them in lighting systems, motor drives, and voltage clamping. Thyristors are compact, fast, and highly reliable.

Power Thyristors: Control High Current with Ease
Power thyristors handle large currents and high voltages. They are used in AC power control, phase regulation, and high-load switching. When turned on, they carry heavy loads without breaking down. Transatronics offers power thyristors that work in tough environments—ideal for motor control, HVAC systems, and industrial power supplies. These devices can handle high surge currents and operate under thermal stress without failure.

Protection Thyristors: Shield Your Circuit
Protection thyristors defend circuits from spikes and surges. These include devices like SIDACs and crowbar thyristors. They detect overvoltage and react fast, diverting harmful energy away from your sensitive parts. Transatronics protection thyristors are built for speed and durability. Use them in telecom systems, power adapters, and sensitive control boards. They help stop transient damage and improve the life of your product.

When to Use a Thyristor?
Use power thyristors when you need controlled switching in high-power systems. They’re good at handling loads with minimal loss. Use protection thyristors when voltage spikes are your main concern. They're best for low-impedance, fast-response protection. Choosing the right type depends on current levels, voltage range, and response time.
