Unknown pink-ish component

[morfi717]

anyone has ideas on what the "bloated" pink-ish diode-looking element in the middle of the photo could be?

Glass body makes me think diode of some sort. EDIT: Lack of polarity stripe makes that unlikely. Knowing what we're looking at would be helpful, what is the board from? What is it supposed to do?

thermisor maybe?

i would say a diode like 1n914   1n4148

take a meter and check in diode ...

Thermistor would be my guess as well.

Agree with the thermistor crowd. Most diodes have the cathode marked with a line (as in the picture you show).

Although I could be wrong about this and many other things.

gas tube discharge    that smal ?

What does the part measure for (in circuit) resistance, and while your finger heats it up. That will show if it's a thermistor.
But all those all use MELF diode packaging - red glass, not this strange beige.
As a GDT it doesn't have special PCB trace spacings or a path to ground.

It was indeed a thermistor:) thanks!
