Re: Help identifying an old capacitor



Yep it was the cap, can't really see it well in the picture but the lower left darker area is actually a hole where the soot sprayed out of.

I replaced it and the fuse yesterday and it worked wonders ...

Re: Help identifying an old capacitor






Great, thank you both! I was I bit unsure so it's great to get some confirmation.

Regarding the reason for replacing it. I haven't actually tested the capacitance, I honestly just assumed it was bad when it popped and sprayed soot everywhere haha ...

Hi,

I need to replace a blown capacitor that's about 25-30 years old and as far as I can tell it's not manufactured anymore so I'm looking for a equivalent replacement.

From my limited understanding of reading capacitor codes I think this is a 2200pF +- 20% 250V-400V ceramic Y1-class capacitor (see attached image). Is that correct?

I assume the 250/400 numbers represent the max voltage according to different certifications?

It's sitting behind a (now destroyed) 12a 250v slow-blow ceramic fuse by the way.

Any help with...
