Help identify component
(1/1)
wrinklehead:
I am trying to repair a board with a component I cannot identify. (Please see attached). Component in question is marked c138 which would lead me to believe it's a capacitor however looking at it it looks like a diode with the polarity marking. I'm thinking this is some type of cap with 2.2uf and 35 volt rating. Am I on the right track here?
Gregg:
Yes, it is a capacitor. But C122 Looks like your problem
Rigolon:
Just adding that it's probably a Tantalum capacitor, and yes it should be 2.2uF and 35V rating.

I agree.

Thanks guys. C122 is indeed the problem or at least a problem but shares the same markings as c138. I figured given the state of C122 it might be easier to identify C138.

It very conveniently says right on the board what it is. Definitely a tantalum capacitor, with a little luck it will be your only fault as shorting out is a notorious failure mode of tantalum capacitors which are otherwise excellent in nearly every respect.
