Re: Help identifying a bad capacitor

I finally went and dug out the other matching bad motor I have, and you are correct!

It says SL12 on the first line, and 17004 on the second. I looked around, and see some references to this type of inrush current limiter, but I still have questions...

1. Where can I buy a good quality replacement?
2. Should I be looking for something a little different to make this motor more robust to this type of failure in the future? Something with more inrush capacity maybe?

Thanks for the help!

This ceramic cap is from a small DC brushless motor.

IT appears that the markings say L12 on the first line, and then 17004 on the second line.

Any information on what it is, and where to find a replacement would be awesome! Thanks.
