hi,
I'm building a overvoltage protection circuit by referring to the circuits below.
From the datasheet of 2N1595, it mentioned that it is a silicon thyristor. But i'm not sure why is a TRIAC symbol there.
So to turn "on" the thyristor, current need to be applied on the gate. By refer to the datasheet, the value for FORWARD CURRENT RMS is 1.6Amp. So is it means that, at least 1.6Amp is needed to "on" the thyristor? Am i correct?
thank you.
