Hi,

I need a new internal component that is soldered to the back of the AC connector for the 120/240 switch on my power supply.

Is there a name for this component ?

I cannibalized a older PS to move this component to a defective PS.
So, I would like to fix the PS I cannibalized.

TIA

Let me know if you need a pic of it.

A picture would be most helpful, but in the mean time do not install any MOVs.

I don't understand the "AC connector for the 120/240 switch" since that switch has only 2 wires soldered to it, and they go to the large circuit board, not the AC connector. But the AC connector may have small disk Y-certified capacitors soldered to it, each between the center tab (ground) and one of the line connections. There may also be a much larger rectangular prism X-certified capacitor soldered to the line connections only. This photo may clarify:

The swap was from one Antec to another. Almost identical.
Turns out thou ... the swap was unnecessary. And I will be re-installing it.

TIA
