Unknown electric symbol (noted CY)
Solved
Hello,
I don't know if I'm in the right category but it's about electronics.
In an old computer power supply, I found a component whose name I couldn't find online.
Its symbol on the circuit board:
It is marked CY next to it. It looks like a thermistor but I don't think that's what it is.
Can you tell me what it is?

Hi,
A thermistor usually looks more like this:
I would say more like a poorly drawn capacitor. Can you provide the complete diagram?

Hi,
Without certainty, given the resemblance of the diagram to a capacitor.
I would say a class Y filtering capacitor. ("capacitor y" on Google to see examples). -
Yes, I've seen photos that look like that.
I can't give you the entire diagram, but here is a photo of the "Y capacitor."
I believe the problem is resolved.
