Capacitor keeps exploding on nixie HV power supply
From MC34063 datasheet the 680pF cap on pin CT sets the frequency to something like 45kHz. It's not very accurate but let's go with that.
A 45kHz period lasts ~22µs. With 12V input and 160V output, du …

I feel bad for saying this considering the amount of work that went into this board, but the layout of the DC-DC is terrible.
As Jonathan says you should be able to salvage this by putting the HV swi …
