Identify a pink axial resistor or capacitor marked 0.1 (セ)

Question

Can someone help me identify the pink component in this photo?

This appears on a Yamaha PortaSound PSS-480 PCB.

You can barely see in the photo, but underneath the component is printed –—||—–

If it's a ceramic capacitor, what's the capacitance/voltage and what can it be replaced with?

If you don’t know what it is, why do you want to replace it? — HandyHowie, Commented Oct 18, 2021 at 6:56
There's another one on the other side of the board that's burnt to a crisp. — Matt Montag, Commented Oct 18, 2021 at 7:00

Probably this is a 100 nF ±10% (min:90, max:110 nF). The service manual is available for this device in the network.

The Capacitor Color Code Calculator help you get proper value for this component.

In your case:

\$\begingroup\$ Ah - 100 nF = 0.1 µF, as marked? \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$ Yes, it should be a correct value for this component \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$ In addition, the symbol after the capacitor value means it's a "semiconductive ceramic capacitor" while the other capacitors that don't have this symbol are just "ceramic capacitor". Basically those Class III type caps are so obsolete that simply standard Class II type 100nF ceramic is a better replacement. \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$ Thanks all - I replaced this with a 100nF 50v bipolar capacitor and it's working fine so far. \$\endgroup\$
