Hello, im new here, and pretty new to electronics. I ahev this part, with what I believe is a diode on it. I would like to know what kind it is, so I can get the same exact one. I have attached a picture, so it will be easier to identify. One side says: K5U 105M and the other side says CB2 0815

Thanks so much!

Yup, just a simple cap. If your interested in how the value is read, I suggest this very good article. I think it was written by a member of this forum.
Rad the part with the header capacitor codes.

Well what's your Twenty good buddy? (Where is your location). Helps to know where you can shop. Radio shack should have caps if your near one of those. Also Digi-key has them.
Here is link.
