Can someone tell me what this is?

I need to know what this is and where to get it. It has 224j100 printed on the top. It is to a diamond audio 400.1 amp. i am looking at the gray box on the two metal sticks.

Har, har.

Actually, it IS a cap, 0u22 (or 220,000 pF or 220nF), 100V, film. You can find this at any of the major electronics parts houses (Newark, Mouser, DigiKey...). Should be under a dollar.

Welllllll - it is a messed up cap - and those cost extra 'cause someone has to go into the lab and blow one up. Those "one of a kind" orders do cost extra.

BUT - if you want a new cap that actually works then follow the suggestion provided by SY.

That's it, but you may need one with longer legs to fit that board.

Then one has to also wonder why it blew up.. Defective part or just a symptom of something wrong elsewhere? I'd replace it and it that does not solve the problem then I would go look for a good tech.
