I think you mean the relay from a fridge compressor.


The one in the bottom left corner has a silvery disc inside it.
I have seen a few of them, it looks like white/clear ceramic with a silvery tinge to the outside of it.
I haven't took much notice of it, they seem to replace the relay in the top right corner, which I rip the copper coil out of.
