Hi everyone
I need to replace a capacitor that decided to blow up on an extremely
old XT 8088 motherboard. This capacitor looks like a tantalum
capacitor and has the following markings on it: 106 16. As far as I
know that means 10 microfarad and 16V (can anyone confirm ?). But
there is something weird. This capacitor has three legs instead of
two! I looked around the Internet to find an identical one, but
tantalum capacitors with three legs don't seem to exist. Does anybody
know what type of capacitor this is ? Is the third leg there just to
hold the capacitor in place, or does it actually do something ? Any
idea where I can find a replacement ?
Thanks to everybody in advance.
