Looking at a PCB, there are 4 components marked TB1, TB2 etc.

I believe that the markings mean terminal board. What exactly is a terminal board?


Update: Unfortunately I cannot show a picture of the actual components. It looks very similar to a fuse like this. No markings on the component.

    \$\begingroup\$ Can you show us a picture? Markings aren't always standard, but it would help to see what these components are. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ Why did you guess Terminal Board - how do you know it's not tube 1, transistor B1 or Thyristive Biggatron 1? \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ It could be terminal block, which is typically a connector which accepts wire connections without solder. Is it a bare PCB? If not, what is/was in those locations? \$\endgroup\$ Feb 7, 2020 at 14:15

I might guess they are polyfuses© ® so perhaps TB1,TB2 could be SMD Thermal Breakers
