The invention relates to a thyristor component, wherein a p-conductive trough (30) adjoins an n-conductive trough (20) at two opposite sides. Highly n-conductive areas (21, 23) and highly p-conductive areas (22) are disposed in the n-trough in alternating sequence, such that outer n-areas (23) are spaced apart at a smaller distance from the p-trough than the p-areas. Further n-areas (35) and further p-areas (36) are disposed in the p-trough on both sides of the n-trough, wherein the further n-area is disposed in each case at a smaller distance from the n-trough than the further p-area. Connection contacts (41, 42) are present on the n-areas and on the p-areas of the n-trough, except for the outermost n-areas nearest to the p-trough. The connection contacts are electrically conductively connected to each other. Further connection contacts (45, 46) are present on the further n-areas and on the further p-areas, wherein the further connection contacts are electrically connected to each other.
