The IXYS 6423 is a semiconductor device known as a dual thyristor, designed explicitly for phase control applications. It is a solid-state switch containing two internally connected thyristors. Thyristors are like electronic switches that allow current to flow in one direction only. The dual configuration in the IXYS 6423 essentially creates a single switch capable of handling higher currents.
Benefits for You
