No, a Diac cannot trigger an SCR because when the Diac turns ON, the current through the Diac is around 9 mA. The gate threshold current of an SCR is typically 5 mA, which is less. So the SCR can get damaged due to this high gate current.
Diac is a bidirectional electronic switch that can pass current in either directions according to the polarity applied on it.

A diode is a component that lets current flow in only one direction. A zener diode has an additional property that current will begin to flow in the reverse direction when a reverse voltage is applied above a certain threshold. This property is generally used for voltage regulation purposes. A diac has similar voltage regulating properties but behaves the same in both directions - current will flow through it when a voltage above it's threshold voltage is applied in either direction. It is therefore useful in AC as well as DC circuits. Below the threshold voltage the diac will be off - no current will flow. A diac is electrically similar to a neon bulb or gas regulator tube.
Diac
The diac and the triac are used to control the AC lines. The difference is that triac are bigger than diac.

A DIAC is a full-wave or bi-directional semiconductor switch that can be turned on in both forward and reverse polarities.
i think not.diodes have a low breakdown voltage, around 1v. a diac has bv of about 30v.
A DIAC is a diode alternating current switch. Its construction consists of two back to back diodes. It is usually used for triggering TRIACS.
