About this manual

The document explains the operation principles of thyristors (SCRs) and bidirectional thyristors, describing their triggering, conduction, and turn‑off behavior. It also defines the key parameters (Ver, Icr, LI) and presents characteristic curves.

Design guidelines cover temperature limits, gate sensitivity, protection against noise, and recommended circuit topologies. Detailed mounting methods, thermal‑resistance calculations, and package‑specific data are provided to ensure reliable integration of these devices. This manual is written in Chinese.
