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.

**FFS Google \" 5 ohm, 13mm NTC \"

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!

** FYI 5 ohms is the room temp resistance, while the size relates to the power dissipation.

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