Hi all,
Just presuming it is a thermistor, and NTC, as when contacts are jumped (so zero resistance), the currently *not-moving* 12V case fan revs up to full speed.
By eye (FWIW) about 1.75mm x 2.5mm, and no writing noticed.
This is from an external 3.5" disk drive enclosure with a cooling fan, and the "thermal probe" - as it was called in the original installation manual - is held against the top-side of the HDD near the spindle.
Hoping to simply replace it with a close-enough component.
Thanks.
Edit: after some further random visual-type web-searches, more definitely looks like it is a "bead-type" thermistor
