what kind of capacitor is this?

[knowlittle]

It is flat and rectangle, 20 mm x 10 mm x 7 mm. Markings are "PM644J 400V?h" 6.4 microFarad capacitor. But it has 4 leads, 2 at each end. Thanks.

A picture is worth 1,000 words here... and context for the item in question (such as what the circuit does, where it resides int he circuit, etc.) would also be useful.

^^what he said..

maybe a start/run cap ???

From the size, value, and voltage, it sounds like a rectangular film capacitor. I do believe some are made with two leads at each end for vibration purposes. If it is potted on the bottom where the leads are, then it probably is a rectangular film.

Here is the photo. Sorry for doing it earlier. My work computer wouldn't let me attach photo.

I don't think that the link is correct.
