I am glad that Terry doesn't know.  I have just spent time on Google and 
was unable to find what the abbreviation stands fo either (or for DIAC or 
TRIAC).  I remember when I started electronics over 30 years ago I used to 
know what transistor meant as well.  It's just not important now. (but I 
would like to put it on my website, so if anyone knows...)
