<A HREF="http://flic.kr/p/dFrXah">http://flic.kr/p/dFrXah</A> should be a picture of the innards of a 120VAC to 24VAC wall wart. <BR>
<BR>
Which is somewhat obscure, and is now farschtunken. (zero output)<BR>
<BR>
The big clue is infinite resistance across the 120V side. <BR>
<BR>
Tearing it apart, I'm seeing about 80 ohms across the primacy coil, and this little black thing, which shows infinite resistance both ways. <BR>
<BR>
I may just end up getting a replacement adapter, cutting off the cable, and splicing on the obscure connector, but I'm curious what this thing is. <BR>
<BR>
Writing on it says: <BR>

If I had to guess, then I'd guess it's some kind of thermal protection device that is normally conducting straight through, but opens up at 115 degrees to protect from overload? <BR>
<BR>
Any thoughts on what this is, and if one could obtain a replacement part somewhere? <BR>
