6 - 2
In some converter module size A6 so called BCT's (Bidirectional-
Controlled-Thyristors) are used. BCT's are a pair of anti parallel thy-
ristors in one disk type housing. They can easily identified by the
second pair of gate leads. The second gate is marked with Gate B
on the thyristor.

Gates of BCT
Note: The faston connectors of the gates are of different size.
Gate B should always be in front of the clamped heat sinks due to
cooling reasons.
