A ariels New Member Sep 20, 2019 #1 Hi, I need to replace both components marked as tvs1 and tvs2. The card is taken from the rear light of Ssangyoung Rexton car. Can anyone tell what are they exactly? Thanks, Ariel Attachments imgonline-com-ua-CompressToSize-TfW3dq8Z6G2.jpg 914.2 KB · Views: 101 imgonline-com-ua-CompressToSize-NWyEaqhJFafn.jpg 488.2 KB · Views: 121 20190920_120135.jpg 535.3 KB · Views: 107

They would be rated at somewhat just above the maximum normal electrical system voltage; probably somewhere from 16 - 20V. It may be possible to find something from the markings, but surface mount markings are far less specific than with conventional components.
