I am trying to identify what Thermistor I currently have. I believe it to be of the PTC type. Since the resistance is rising as the temperature rises.
There are plenty of charts out there for NTC type thermistors but not much on the PTC type.
This one is potted inside a cylinder that I believe is aluminum. Two wires come out of one end.
At 67 degrees Fahrenheit I am getting a reading of 36.34 M Ohms.
The unit this is installed into can reach a temperature of around 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
I am attaching a picture of the Thermistor and a picture of it on the Schematic (there are two thermistors on the Schematic they are both identical).
How can I determine what this is so I can buy a replacement?
Thanks.
