Some of those are likely notThe SMBJ26CA transient suppression diodes have a ceramicnominal capacitors26 V rating, but electrolytic capacitorsthe peak is shown as 33.2 V, eperilously close to the 35 volt rating of the capacitors.g Use caps with higher voltage rating. At ~US$4 per cap, the 22 µF and 10µF unitsthey're a bit pricey to blow out frequently.

  1. Electrolytics are polarized, installing them backwards could destroy them. You show no polarity symbol -- check on that.
