A Transient Voltage Suppressor (Transorb) is a zener diode that is engineered for high power current switching. They function in a similar fashion to FETs but are capable of higher current and voltages than FETs. Some are "bidirectional" consisting of two zeners and allow current flow in two directions unlike a FET or Diode which allow current in one primary direction.
