Would you please tell me what this is? And what I should know in how to order it. Like are there variations or ways to know its capacities to replace it correctly.
Welcome to the forum.
There a wide variety of electronic component types and a huge number of specific variations within the types that look similar to that part. e.g. capacitor, varistor, thermistor
If you can provide:
- Information about the product containing this part especially manufacturer and model number
- pictures of the marking on the part
- pictures of the marks on the circuit board within a few inches of the part
Then somebody here may be able to identify the part
The part indication on the PCB shows ‘T1’ so it’s probably not a capacitor and judging by the heavy traces (and apparent burn/flash marks) I would guess it’s in a power supply, maybe. Other than that Paul is right; can you get an image of the other side of this? An image of a larger part of the circuit board would be helpful too.

Thank you Paul!
Thank you, Gromit. I it is from a 120v to 12-volt converter that stopped working I will take it apart and image the circuit board from the underside and repost.
I couldn’t make that out myself, well spotted.
“T” usually indicates the part is a thermistor. Most likely an inrush current limiter or self resetting fuse type.
