LTspice model for DB3 DIAC

I was trying to design a simple voltage relay in LTspice and I wanted to use a DIAC, but I had a hard time finding a model that worked. Finally I found the following in an obscure Japanese or Chinese website

The website

is supposed to have models but it redirects to an

under construction page :(

What I want to do is replace a voltage relay in an octal enclosure that determines if the voltage is nominally 120 VAC or 208/240 VAC, and allowing the mains voltage to be applied to the power section of the unit only if it is properly configured in series or parallel. The present design uses a capacitor dropper circuit that has proven unreliable in the field, probably from high current spikes due to high frequency components of the waveform.

I have seen this site before and it is very pretty looking, but I can't read it and never have seen any of the content that was supposedly being linked.

For instance, I don't see any spice models on this pages linked to.

It looks like they sell electronics parts though. No English tab that I can see.

It seems that their new website is online now. The DIAC models are available for download at [1].

Use the LT Spice "neon bulb" part!
