        OP you are lucky it did not arc and make a big black mess. Those Rifa safety capacitors crack and short out with age, causing equipment damage and bonfires. Never use them, I don't know why Kemet keeps selling the PME271 series etc. The paper insulation inside is unique but nothing special.

        Replace it with any other safety cap that fits.

              why sweden?
              you can get good panasonic replacements from RS in the u.k.

              postage/handling wont be fun though.
              CPC has lower minimum order rules - maybe cpc has some.

                  I'm partial to them since they were actually manufactured in Sweden in the past
                  I would do as redwire said: replace with any safety agency approved X2 capacitor.
                  The link was more because you asked what they are

                    Re: Component identification

                    Is it an X capacitor or a Y capacitor. IIRC, Rifa made a .022uF Y capacitor in the PME271 series.

                        by Shulgin
                        Hello everyone,
                        I have a problem with my Acer predator XB241YU screen. When I plug it in, the startup LED turns on instantly, and I can't turn off the screen without unplugging it.
                        After disassembly and inspection of the electronic cards I found what looks like a broken inductor, it is marked with the letter A and is at location L58.
                        In the first photo you can see the broken component, in the second photo you can see where it is on the board, in the third photo you can see the silkscreen and in the fourth photo you can see the identification sticker of the main board
                        I...

                        SOT23 component identification
                        by FrozenHaxor
                        Hello, I have two identical circuits and one has a component with a hole in it, it is some sort of MOSFET driver, as two gates of large MOSFETs are connected to the lower right pin of it, I'd rather avoid guesswork if positive identification is possible.
