A triac is a solid state (semiconductor) electronic switch we use in AC circuits. The main applications are those involving electronically switching AC circuits on and off, and in controlling voltage in AC circuits as we see done with AC light dimmers. Certainly there are other applications for the device, but these are the most commonly encountered ones. Electronic dimmers based on a triac can be found in the electrical departments of just about any hardware or home supply store.

What are the applications of a triac?
A triac is a semiconductor-based solid state electronic switch. The main applications are those which require the electronic switching of AC circuits. The switching can go from 100% on to 100% off (or vice versa) or can allow only portions of each AC cycle to pass through, which varies the amount of power supplied to the load. That is how triac-based AC lamp dimmers work.

What is a gateless triac?
A gateless triac is a diac. It is often used in the gate circuit of a triac to balance out the firing voltage for the triac in both quadrants, so that there is no DC offset in the controlled load. This is because, while the gate trigger voltage is often asymmetric in the two quadrants, the M1/M2 breakdown voltage is often symmetric.
