"The *DIAC*, or *diode for alternating current*, is a bidirectional 
trigger diode <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode> that conducts current 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_current> only after its 
breakdown voltage <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakdown_voltage> has 
been exceeded momentarily."

 From the source of indisputable knowledge, Wikipedia:
