First, thats not a capacitor. (im sure of that)

This is a capacitor. Well, one type of them anyway

.

Second, it looks like a power transistor , or a double schoktty diode. But i cant seem to locate any datasheet on that.

I'm betting its a double schoktty diodes, they come in those formats, they're used for Rectification / Switching / Regulation, there's usually a couple of those in each PSU.

I "broke" one once from an old PSU, and... its still dead. Even with a replacement (the best i could find, but not and equal one) it didnt work.

Edit :

Found it in ST homepage.

Its a power rectifier, just as i suspected.
