Abstract

The present invention relates to a component forming a normally on dual thyristor, which can be turned off by a voltage pulse on the control electrode, including a thyristor, a first depletion MOS transistor, the gate of which is connected to the source, connected between the anode gate and the cathode of the thyristor, and a second enhancement MOS transistor, the gate of which is connected to a control terminal.
