Microinverter repair - mystery component identification
Trailing Edge:
Can you help identify this part?
It's the "cap" on top of a small component that has turned its interior into magic smoke and departed from its base. I can read it, but the text on it seem to be misleading me.
EDIT: (this attachment didn't go through)
It came from here, at F1. You can see the circular base of the component still soldered to the board, with nothing left attached to the leads.
This the picture of the whole board. I've removed only the encapsulation around this part.
The board is inside a PV microinverter which has 4 panel connectors (bottom). It is an Altenergy Power Systems QS1 microinverter. I'd like to rescue it and keep it as a spare/backup for when the next one fails.
Thanks for looking!

The missing image:
Ahh, Simple machines forums... not so simple sometimes.
Jimmy Electron:
Hi there.
It's a 10A DIP mounted radial cylinder fuse
Trailing Edge:
Bingo!
The specs looked like fuse specs, but I couldn't figure out what kind.
Thank you!
fzabkar:
T10A is a time-lag fuse.
