Click to enlarge. Recent visit to local recycling shop, bought this, and yes, I'm a hoarder :palm:, as its dirt cheap < $3, and also never seen anything like this before, so I grabbed it. Google results don't show much, although its sort of thermistor, but I get it that it is sort of temperature sensor, cmiiw. :-// Attached below other various angle shots with TO220 as reference size. Its 3 terminals device, and looking at the clipped wires, it must be used in industrial or big machinery, isn't it ? Or even 4 terminals (including the metal chasis mount) ? :-// Any insight , comments about this component, or where its suitably used at will be appreciated. |

Never heard nor seen one before. Silistor sounds like its resistance varies with silliness. |

It looks like an old high power silicon carbide varistor (MOV) |
