Transistor... Thermistor...
These are found in various places such as:
- Input current limiting (beginning of switching power supplies)
- Temperature Sensors (3d printer beds, lithium batteries)
- Temperature cutoffs (coffee maker)
Tips/Techniques
Checking an Input Current Limiter is Working
Use hot air, and the resistance should increase. This alternatively is a way to detect if what you are looking at is a thermistor. For: Identify this chip.
