Explode? Those are ceramics caps, right? Are these the line inlet filter
caps, or later on? For line inlet, you need line rated caps, which have quite
high voltage ratings for good margin. Apart from that, I would think they
should all work. I've used Panasonic caps before, but Matsushita, Vishay and
Kemet are also names I know and would use. I don't know Evox or Iskra.
