Such part does not exist AFAIK and would not work to begin with. You cannot simply connect gate terminals together.

Incidentally, that is the triac's "simistor" equivalent circuit, isn't it  ;)

There are thyristors that are controlled not relative to the cathode, but relative to the anode.  :)

I just noticed that getting that to say "triac" results is something like "tree-ack", which is not how I say it. What next, tree-angles? So, not sure that is very trustworthy.

Thanks for all the comments, I'll have to put this down as yet another of the many things I did not know. Or, if perchance I did know it, I had forgotten, an increasingly common phenomenon.

SIDACtor... just a TVS with a marketing term that makes it fantastic.
