Additional Details:

The TH11-4B473FT is an NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor, meaning its resistance decreases as temperature increases. Its resistance at a specific reference temperature (usually 25°C) is indicated by the "473" in the part number, where 473 represents 47 x 10^3 ohms or 47k ohms. The "FT" likely refers to a specific tolerance, packaging, or other characteristic unique to the Mitsubishi product line, and the 'B' may indicate a specific tolerance. The TH11 likely defines the physical dimensions and lead style of the component. Datasheets from Mitsubishi Materials would provide the exact resistance-temperature curve, tolerance, and other key specifications. The component's leads are likely designed for through-hole mounting.
