put finger to keyboard and composed:

I have 2 parts in a SMPS that I think are PTC thermistors. One is marked
KC103P, the other KC221K, the first a blue disk looking just like this:

The second actually looks more like a huge blue tantalum cap, smaller than
the first but fatter, not a disc.

This site ...

http://www.sourceesb.com/PartNumber....e=W&search=KC1

.... suggests that the KC103P is manufactured by Murata Electronics
North America.

This site ...

http://www.usbid.com

.... lists the KC103M as a capacitor made by "S/M".

I suspect the part may be a high voltage 10nF ceramic cap.

It would help to know to which other parts these devices connect.
