Triacs are widely used in applications such as lamp dimmers and motor speed controllers and as such the diac is used in conjunction with the triac to provide full-wave control of the AC supply as shown.
This symbol represents a reverse conducting thyristor (RCT) with an anode gate. The anode gate is used for stopping the current conduction when supplied with enough current. The RCT in used for conduction in reverse direction when there are inductive load or there is need for freewheeling diodes.

Thyristor, Triac and Diac Symbols. Thyristors - SCR, are semiconductors that are activated when an impulse is applied and deactivated when they do not receive the switching current. They handle high power. Triac and diac are bidirectional semiconductor devices.
The basic full-wave Triac phase control circuit shown in Figure AN1003.9 requires only four components. Adjustable resistor R 1 and C 1 are a single-element phase-shift network. When the voltage across C 1 reaches breakover voltage (V BO) of the DIAC, C 1 is partially discharged by the DIAC into the Triac gate. The Triac is then
16 wrz 2008 · TRIAC control circuits must be particularly well tuned to be both economical and applicable to inductive loads. The purpose of this document is to present different methods of TRIAC control with their applications and to analyze their relative advantages and disadvantages.
