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...)
