Definition of thyristor in English:

thyristor

noun θʌɪˈrɪstəTHīˈristər

Electronics

A four-layered semiconductor rectifier in which the flow of current between two electrodes is triggered by a signal at a third electrode.
〔电子〕闸晶管
Example sentencesExamples
- Thyristor phase control leads to additional energy losses and heating in the motor and this should be taken into account when selecting the power rating.
- The thyristor is the device that's used in all wall dimmer switches.
- If the thyristor is used with an ac supply then it will conduct on the positive half cycles and automatically switch off during the negative half cycles.
- The company offers a broad range of thyristor products that are used in a variety of applications.
- There is a need for two conditions to be present simultaneously to turn on the thyristor.

Origin

1950s: blend of thyratron, denoting a kind of thermionic valve (from Greek thura 'gate') and transistor.
