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.

LOL  :-DD, had the same thought when I saw it too.

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