@Vishal.

Not triac because the conduction occurs by the help of pulse of the gate and therefore don't require break over voltage.

Here, breakover voltage = 30 to 40 v.

The diac and triac both are the biderectional device.

Why not triac?

DIAC can work on AC its turn on voltage is aroun 30V it is also known as gateless TRIAC
