Same thermal runaway problem, different resistance value. If your circuit design calls for 1KΩ at the sensing point — maybe a higher-impedance bias network or a different current range in your amp stage — this is the one that drops in without redesigning the board. Ceramic NTC material shifts resistance quickly as heat builds, so your protection kicks in before the transistor cooks. Radial leads, tinned copper, epoxy-dip coating. Solder it in, test your bias, and walk away knowing that overheat scenario is handled. Whether you're in a school electronics class or tweaking a home amp, this small part keeps the big one alive
