ANSI/IEEE Unidirectional semiconductor power switch form

This reference locates unidirectional semiconductor power switch in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented power switches family. A unidirectional semiconductor switch has a specified direction for its power conduction or control behaviour. The functional direction must be identified so reversing a schematic orientation does not reverse the intended meaning. The public library uses HCB11Q57 for its horizontal representation; this is a vendor block name, not an IEEE standards symbol number.

A distinction that matters

Unidirectional operation concerns the circuit path; it does not describe the direction of all system power flows.
