Can someone help identify this?

[BillTard]

I believe it's an aluminium cap.  I'm kinda new to fixing electronics.  I've got decent soldering skills but not the best at identifying components yet.  I have an Intel nuc DC3217IYE and this has come desoldered. I went to put it back on and one of the legs broke off.  I tried googling the numbers but I can't figure out what they mean which makes it hard to know what I have to order.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  The numbers read top to bottom 237 pc 330 6.

I hope that's not a typical example of your standard soldering toolkit! 

From the lettering it's a 330uF 6V Electrolytic. I can't quite make out the ink color on the photo. If it's black then it's probably a standard surface mount Aluminum Electrolytic. If it's blue then it could well be Aluminum Polymer.

Hope it helps.

The color is purple and no it's not my normal workstation.  I'm at my work office my home setup is where i normally do my soldiering/electronic work.

The only ones I can think of with purple writing and that combination of numbers would be Panasonic Os-Con caps.

Here's a list at mouser Os-Con where you will see the purple with the combination of layout.

First line - Lot Number
Second Line - Series (I couldn't find PC, but I found SVPC)?
Third Line - Capacitance (ie 330uF)
Fourth Line - Voltage , where 6 = 6.3V

This is polymer capacitor, not electrolytic, 330uf, 6V. Only black ones usually are electrolytic but with rare exceptions.

How did that happen?

As said these are probably Os-Cons (the purple is a give away).
I thought Os-Cons were made by Sanyo, but it looks like Panasonic bought the rights... or did they just buy Sanyo?

Fixing such boards are scary... I tried to fix an (already broken when given to me) MacBook Pro but the pin density scarred me.

They bought Sanyo, although without electrolytic capacitors, but seems they have taken polymer ones. Electrolytic capacitors are now left as a separate company (IIRC they were made by daughter company of Sanyo which became independent after Sanyo takeover) and now are sold under Suncon brand. As there is no mention about polymer caps on their website, likely those are under Panasonic now.

This Nuc was velcro'd behind a tv used as digital signage.  The device was acting up and I noticed it had a rattle.  My guess is poor ventilation and it just got really hot in there or it was a poor soldering to start with.  Os-Cons? trying to learn as I fix. I've always been a ticker/eh what can go wrong trying to fix things but lately i'm trying to learn what's actually going on vs let's just give this a shot mentality.

Is there any way to figure out the ohms or ripple current when finding that part on mouser?
