what component could this be?
« on: November 01, 2023, 01:42:30 pm »
Hi

Is this a resistor or diode or something else. With my fluke on diode test and the red probe on top of the left hand side component and the black at the bottom common point I get 2V. When reversed I get OL.
With the red at the top (+ symbol) on the right hand side I get 1V. Not sure what the rest of the circuit looks like.

EDIT: They are small. They are the same size as an axial resistor (size 0623 as shown in the link) https://docs.rs-online.com/8f1a/A700000008491009.pdf
The resistor of the same size have the footprint hole spacing at 400 mils = 10mm just like these components.

Please help?
Thanks

They look like axial tantalum capacitors, I'm surprised that there are no part markings visible though.
Best Regards, Chris

Please see my original post. I have updated it.

Axial tantalum capacitors in that package have the + terminal on the beveled end.
Usually, that package is yellow.
0.4 inch between hole centers is possible for a low-valued unit:  the data sheet below includes units with 0.260 inch body.

Awesome, awesome, awesome. I love this website.

Ok so I had a colleague with very good eye site have a look at the marking. After a lot of struggling he could make out the following marking. 125k 35V+  And the line beneath read 305 with a 2 in a circle.
I also measured the case size Lenght = ~ 7mm or 8mm and the diameter = ~ just below 3mm

So from the datasheet supplied above I was able to establish what part this is.
125 = 1200000pF = 1.2uF   As shown in the table top of page 2
k =  +/-10% tolerance in same table
35V = 35 Volt dc rating.

According to the dimensions table on page 3 this is a case size B.

Punching this into mouser and selecting the T322 series from KEMET brings this results up. I think this is 100% correct

https://www.mouser.co.za/c/passive-components/capacitors/tantalum-capacitors/tantalum-capacitors-solid-leaded/?capacitance=1.2%20uF&m=KEMET&series=T322&tolerance=10%20%25&voltage%20rating%20dc=35%20VDC

I consider this problem solved.

I have used tantalum capacitors of this type, and I remember that the absurdly small lettering was very hard to read even on a brand new part.
