The Gate Turn-Off (GTO) Thyristor is a fully controllable discrete semiconductor switch that can be turned on and off with a positive and negative gate signal, these components are optimized for very low conduction losses designed to work in the most demanding industrial applications. These components are highly used on High Power & High Voltage Converters for low and medium frequency applications.

AmeTrade™ Electronics also supplies the GTO Gate Drivers, allows known as GTO Gate Units. These devices are specially designed for each application supplying features like:

• Gate Current Temperature compensation
• Continuous Negative Voltage for Blocking Condition
• Fiber Optic for signal interface with Status Feedback
• Turn-On & Turn-Off Pulse
• Isolation Transformer for Power Supply

AmeTrade Electronics is a leader in the distribution of Gate Turn-off Thyristors, offering a wide inventory of devices in stock from 400A to 4000A & up to 6500V, serving the Mass Transportation, Locomotive, Mining and High Power Conversion Industries.
