Power Semiconductor Devices: Abbreviations, Symbols Abbreviations of Power Semiconductor Devices The first step to power electronics course is understanding the Power Semiconductor Devices. They are fundamental blocks to study the Power Electronics. In this post, we have given the abbreviations and symbols of various Power Semiconductor Devices. Various Posts were published to explain the structure, operation and applications of these devices. Frequently we will forget these abbreviations, symbols at initial stage. This post will serve as a quick reference for you. BJT - Bipolar Junction Transistor UJT - Uni Junction Transistor SCR - Silicon Controlled Rectifier GTO - Gate Turnoff Thyristor RCT - Reverse Conducting Thyristor MCT - MOS Controlled Thyristor TRIAC - TRIode for Alternating Current DIAC - DIode on AC MOSFET - Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor IGBT - Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor SIT - Static Induction Transistor SITH - Static Induction Thyristor IGCT - Integrated Gate Commutated Thyristor ( also known as GCT) LTT (LASCR) - Light Triggered(Activated) Thyristor Symbols of Power Semiconductor Devices: Power Diode
