ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a discrete main thyristor and a discrete auxiliary thyristor contained within a single case or package member. The auxiliary thyristor is triggered by a light signal passing through an aperture in a wall of the case member. The auxiliary thyristor in turn triggers the main thyristor.
