Everything about DIAC
Type of diode
The DIAC is a diode that conducts electrical current only after its breakover voltage, VBO, has been reached momentarily. Three, four, and five layer structures may be used. Behavior is similar to the voltage breakdown of a TRIAC without a gate terminal. Wikipedia →
