Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010081530A1] The invention relates to a self-locking switch having at least one transistor (12) that is conductive in the non-switched state. The self-locking switch comprises at least one self-conducting transistor and at least one non-linear element (13) comprising two contacts, being non-conductive when a voltage is present between the contacts that is smaller than a characteristic voltage, and being conductive when a voltage is present between the contacts that is greater than or equal to the characteristic voltage, wherein the sign of the characteristic voltage is defined as positive, wherein one contact of the non-linear element is in electrical contact with the source contact of the transistor.
