Gate Turn-Off Thyristors (GTOs) are high-power semiconductor switches that extend the capabilities of conventional thyristors by allowing active turn-off through a gate control signal. Devices like the DG858DW combine high voltage and current ratings with rugged construction to meet the demands of industrial inverters, converter systems, choppers and motor drives. Dynex GTOs provide robust surge and transient tolerance, double-side cooling for thermal management, and high reliability across a wide temperature range, reducing maintenance and enhancing system uptime.
