> You are asking us if transistors are triacs :-O.

Some nice Field Effect Transistors are good triacs, when used 
back-to-back/end-to-end if you prefer.  :-)

Personally I've never meet a triac I like, and refuse to use them.
Bad experiance from my first job assignment years ago.
Boss Man said "figure out why this design of mine DLFJK:J up some times".
Then you have to tell the Boss Man the first day on the job it is because he 
didn't know what he was doing... 

Anyway use inverse parallel SCR's.  You end up with the same triac function 
but with orders of magnitude dV/dT immunity improvement.
