[SOLVED] Help me identify this unknown component

[amendar]

Please, can anyone help me on this component







Thanks

looks like a 1 uF tantalum capacitor to me.

I would have said 10uF, since 10 * 10^6 pF = 10,000,000 pF.
The K indicates +/-10% tolerance.
(web-search for "resistor capacitor values" for quick-refs on future identifications)

10uF, 20V tantalum (made by Kemet, and note the polarity per the "+" when reinstalling a replacement or it'll go *poof*).

Thank you all.

And a special thanks to jrwebsterco, the best answer.

I disagree I think that it is a 1uF as 1pf x10^6 =1000000pF =1uF non polarized capacitor

 

[jrwebsterco]

Seriously pjmelect ?!
(to suggest that even a 1uF tantalum cap is non-polarized is frankly reckless to the personal safety of others)
Though this thread was put to bed, but to mitigate misinformation ...

See bottom of page 43 of Kemet catalog here: http://www.kemet.com/kemet/web/homepage/kechome.nsf/file/F3100.pdf/$file/F3100.pdf
Notice the significance of the "+" symbol, and so on.

And there are various other references as well, which BTW all agree with each other, but NOT with you.
