Don't know capicator type Please help.

[OGSTYLE]

I am fixing a motor for a recliner chair. I think that a relay is fried. The one and only capicator on it is blown out. I am trying to figure out the info on this cap so I can replace it. The numbers on it are ICL12 10005. Please help me.



The relay this unit uses is a 812h-1c-c b12v would it be ok to use a rgtb-24vu in its place?

Looks like a Thermistor rather than a capacitor.

No, a 24volt relay will not work in place of a 12 volt plus it must have the same switching/pinout. And the device in picture is definitley NOT a capacitor & infact IS a Thermistor. Can not recall exactly where, but have seen it used on other control circuit boards (ICL is a correct prefix)

Can you tell me how to read the numbers on the component. I need to order a new one. I did not use my head when I asked about the relay. I should have known about that.

The "812h" series relays are manufactured by Gama electronics inc. You could try contacting them direct or look at the datasheet to find a suitable substitute

I am sorry I was talking about the numbers on the Thermistor

The Thermistor appears to look o.k looking at the pic. Remember as this is a Thermistor it will be hot to the touch. It has a resistance when cold and when the unit is switched on current flows through it and the resistance falls as the current causes the temperature to increase.

That is rated as a 5 Amp thermistor & you should be ok to use a standard 5 amp thermistor.

Exact specs is listed down the chart;
