Abstract
A gate turn-off thyristor is disclosed which includes a main thyristor having a shorted emitter structure on the anode side thereof and an auxiliary thyristor having a shorted emitter structure on the cathode side thereof and wherein the cathode of the auxiliary thyristor is connected to the gate of the main thyristor to on-off control a large current by a small gate signal.
