George Kourtis Asks: basic thyristor questions tyn1225
I have the component tyn1225 that I believe to be a thyristor. I just read about thyristors that are described as rectifiers enabled or non enabled on demand. According to what I read and understood the thyristor conducts in only one direction and it's conduction may be enabled by activation of the gate.
So the thyristor when non activated is non conductive in both directions while if activated conducts in one direction only from anode to cathode.
I took the component I have and it behaves as follows ( tested two of them to be sure ):
When to the gate is applied a positive voltage relative to the cathode then the component conducts in both directions. When conduction is from anode to cathode the component conducts even if the voltage to the gate is taken off. When conducting from cathode to anode the component conducts only during the time that the voltage is applied to the gate.
So I would like to know is tyn1225 a thyristor, and if yes how exactly do thyristors behave ?
