Electronic Guys What is this

Does anyone know what this may be and where i can find it ?

Im not sure that is it by the pic on that website. What is that thing exactly does anyone know ? The side popped.

Would dimensions in MM help have a buddy that says he thinks it is but not sure?

It's a capacitor - from the voltage it's probably on the output of the inverter although it's value 3.3uF seems high for that. It is often used to remove rf noise or spikes in voltage (transients).

These devices are often stressed and I've seen loads of these 'popped' like this.
Unless it has gone short circuit, which *may* cause the output to fail it's possible your problem lies elsewhere.

I ordered some a buddy said may be correct . But they was to wide to fit where all 4 would go. Correct length though.

This is the capacitor that got ordered being to big. One i need is 8.8mm but the one ordered is 18.6 . Is there a way to be able to put measurements in to a site ?

Mouser and Digi-Key usually have the physical sizes of components where size is of a concern when fitting to a PCB.
Failing finding the correct ones, it's not unknown to stand them off a bit for clearance, provided the circuit board allows it when in situ.

This is just a poly capacitor.

The way you read the identification is:

335 = 3300000 picofarads (0.000003300000 pico = 10 minus 12- there are five zeros before the 33) or 3.3 microfarads (micro = 10 to the minus 6, you search it by microfarads)

the second part is the working voltage: 250VDC.

You can use any capacitor that is within the range. Let's say you have a capacitor that's 350VDC and fits in your in you pcb, just as long as it's over the 250V of the original it's fine.

I have put the parameters in on Mouser which I use often and you can just buy one part from them. If you click on a cap you think will work the listing will show size, type etc. This is not an electrolytic is has no direction and can be installed either way. It's polyethylene (PET)

Thank you . Thankfully it was under warranty being a newer inverter . I was able to get a new one & doa that one.
