It is 50 cents, a solid capacitor and has long leads that should help it fit in easily. Ok, now the bad part. I can't tell if it is a polarized capacitor or if you need a polarized capacitor. I read that if it is polarized and you install it wrong, they explode violently. My guess, from the picture is that it is not polarized, but maybe someone else will know.
