Help: What is this component?

[Itsme]

Hello, I am working on a board and am not sure what type of component this is? Think it may be a capacitor of some type but not sure?

Siemens polarized capacitor 33uF 10VDC.
Replace with a Nichicon 33uF 16V

Thanks for the help! First time I have seen one of these, just being curious what type of capacitors are these?

 

[rayma]

It's either electrolytic or tantalum, but definitely polarized.
Very old part made in Germany, or nearby.

I have some Sanyo Oscon 33uf 20volt caps, do you think they would be okay?

 

[Elvee]

It is an encased solid tantalum type.
Oscon should be OK, unless it is used in applications like timers, where the leakage current matters

I was thinking it was probably a tantalum but wasn't sure. It was in a voltage regulator circuit so hopely the Oscon's should work. I appreciate your help!
