Help identifying a part please.

I have a device which LOOKS like a temperature sensor. Device has 3 leads,
one red, one black, one blue, all about 4" long. The device looks like a
threaded aluminum cylinder about 1" long by 1/2" diameter. It is marked as
follows:

MICRO USA
103SR5A-1
8301

When attached to my multimeter (Black & Blue leads) I can measure resistance
between the leads, but it's only in the 2000M Ohm range on my meter. When I
touch the device, the resistance goes off scale even for my meter. Any
ideas? A web search revealed nothing.
