A better pic would help immeasurably. What markings are on it?


None, just the numbers mentioned.

Obviously I cannot see this, but there is a third thing about electrolytic
capacitors, and that is you need to get them in the right way around or they
tend not only to not like it, but depending on the use, can damage much of
the rest of the equipment if you are not careful.

Yes, yes, as much as we all know you are top posting scum

Idiot.

I think it quite impressive that Brian manages to post at all,
considering he is blind.

As he physically can't see where his cursor is to avoid top posting I
think it would be a little difficult for him to do so.

A thermal fuse probably; the 216K the temperature at which it gives
up

Would you like to reconsider that?


Yebbut 216 degrees is a common value for thermal fuses e.g

Thanks

It looks for all the world like a electrolytic capacitor.

Could be but one end seems to be pointy. It could be a diode or even a fuse.

Rusted and ropy.
Dog-eared old copy.
Vintage and classic,
or just plain Jurassic:
all words to describe me.

ITYF that's not Kelvin.

Heh. I was thinking -57C was a bit conservative.




Would be a bit of a bugger to store, that's for sure.

216*K* was what threw me there.

But putting an upper case K after a temparature expressed in Centigrade?

A most axial leaded thermal fuses are pointy at one end, although it
doesn't matter which way around they are fitted

The "K" may have nothing to do with temperature - it could be some other
kind of marker/identifier
