Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
A thyristor device comprising a thyristor and a protection element which limits a surge voltage appearing across the electrodes of said thyristor, said protection element being connected in parallel to said thyristor, said thyristor and said protection element being formed flat with two surfaces thereof forming electrodes; a conductive plate held between one electrode of said thyristor and one electrode of said protection element; and a pressurizing member of conductive material engaging the other electrode of said thyristor and the other electrode of said protection element for holding said thyristor, said conductive plate and said protection element in pressurized engagement.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
100 words
A thyristor device comprising a thyristor and a protection element which limits a surge voltage appearing across the electrodes of said thyristor, said protection element being connected in parallel to said thyristor, said thyristor and said protection element being formed flat with two surfaces thereof forming electrodes; a conductive plate held between one electrode of said thyristor and one electrode of said protection element; and a pressurizing member of conductive material engaging the other electrode of said thyristor and the other electrode of said protection element for holding said thyristor, said conductive plate and said protection element in pressurized engagement.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
149 words
A thyristor device comprising: (a) a flat thyristor having two surfaces comprising a first electrode and a second electrode; (b) a flat protection element disposed adjacent to said thyristor and having two surfaces comprising a first electrode and a second electrode; (c) a flat conductive plate interposed between said first electrode of said thyristor and said first electrode of said protection element; (d) a pressurizing member engaging said second electrode of said thyristor and said second electrode of said protection element and holding said thyristor and said protection element closely abutted against said conductive plate; (e) a first connecting conductor connecting said second electrode of said thyristor to said second electrode of said protection element; (f) a second connecting conductor connecting a control object controlled by said thyristor to said conductive plate; and (g) a third connecting conductor connecting said control object to said second electrode of said thyristor.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
149 words
A thyristor device comprising: (a) a flat thyristor having two surfaces comprising a first electrode and a second electrode; (b) a flat protection element disposed adjacent to said thyristor and having two surfaces comprising a first electrode and a second electrode; (c) a flat conductive plate interposed between said first electrode of said thyristor and said first electrode of said protection element; (d) a pressurizing member engaging said second electrode of said thyristor and said second electrode of said protection element and holding said thyristor and said protection element closely abutted against said conductive plate; (e) a first connecting conductor connecting said second electrode of said thyristor to said second electrode of said protection element; (f) a second connecting conductor connecting a control object controlled by said thyristor to said conductive plate; and (g) a third connecting conductor connecting said control object to said second electrode of said thyristor.
