So I don't really know to much about electronic components to start with, so go easy on me.

I'm really into RC cars as a hobby, and whenever I get a new electrical part, I usually open it and put some conformal coating on the board, to protect it from water. I had a friend ask me to coat his speed controller for him. When I pulled it out of the case, I noticed that a piece was broken on the side. I was able to put the broken part back in place but its just more or less stuck there with the coating. You can see that the majority of the part was undamaged and still soldered to the board. My question is, what is it? What does it do? And will it still work? The component is large, square, and has 223 J printed on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you for the reply. No I haven't tried it yet. Waiting for the the coating to dry. I guess I'll power it up and see what happens.
