I got an old projector screen with motor to open/close it automatically, working on 220V. I'm opening it up to review it, but got a mysterious component.

Anyone an idea what this is at what it serves? I suspect it is a capacitor.

135? / 630V

Parts of a projector screen. The engine is visible on the left (a black cylinder) and is connected with 4 wires to a brown block

@pietervdvn pretty likely. Get a multimeter and measure its capacitance and then try to replace it by a new one with similar ratings, to be on the safe side.

@pietervdvn

The red component looks like a capacitor yes, don't they, generally help to smooth out voltages esp if converting AC to DC via a bridge rectifier.
