Suitable substitute for a DSC 5D-13 Thermister

It's just an in rush current limiter, just find something close. I'd buy a few, 3.5 to 4.5A devices and see which work the best.

The real thing seems to be available.

aliexpress sells it:

I know, was trying to find something closer.

Still Martin is right, it is just a thermister. I just was wondering if anyone had a better idea of what one to use as a sub.

I should have expanded, closer in the sense that the 5D-13 arriving in mid-October via Aliexpress, vs a suitable sub from Digikey which could be here overnight.

We did end up going the Aliexpress route.

OK, that is something I wasn't aware of, thanks!

Yeah, that happens sometimes to all of us.

Pick your dealer.

Crap, you mean the spec was in the part number? 5D = 5 ohm, and the -13 is the diameter. Gah!

Thanks, wish the data sheet I downloaded from DSC had suggested that!

A 5 ohm one will drop to 0.5 ohms when hot - typically about 150C.
