Hello,
I came across a component (with four leads) that seems to have a capacitor network inside. Could anyone tell me what it is and wat it can be used for?

Thanks,
Jelcke
Benta:
Looks like a bridge rectifier to me. How did you get to the caps conclusion? And please: improve your handwriting or make a printout.
t1d:
Ditto.

If you have a diode function, on your multimeter, try probing the pins, with that.
Jelcke:
Thanks for your reply.
The handwriting is from the previous owner who made the notes.he was a famous surgeon BTW.  Here is an other example.

In diode mode I get a voltage drop of 0.7v in any direction and between every pin..... no rectifier I think

resistance
1-2 = 0.65K
4-3 = 0.65K
1-3 = 565 ohm
2-4 =567 ohm

I have four variations of this device.
ca4 14 600 76-22
ca4 14 600 76-08
ca4 4.5 600 76-19
ca4 3.5 600 76-34

Kemet, a capacitor manufacturer  does have a CA4 series and some have 4 leads but they are not in line and they are tied together in pairs for more secure mounting of a single capacitor. They also make arrays but I combed through the 300 page catalog and could not get a match but that is the closest I got. The 3.5 and 600 sure sounds like a cap. Everything with 4 leads is not a diode bridge.
