thyristor, reverse-conducting triode
A unidirectional triode thyristor that conducts large currents in the reverse direction at reverse voltages comparable in magnitude to the forward on‑state voltage.
NOTE Thyristors intended for use as surge protective devices and meeting this definition are referred to as forward-conducting rather than reverse-conducting.
