At atemperature <strong>of</strong> 125 ◦ C, the rated voltage can loose 50% <strong>of</strong> its value. A good caution rule is tochose capacitor with a rated voltage that is twice the voltage they will be submitted to.5.9.5 Bending strengthThe EPS card could bend under the effect <strong>of</strong> vibrations <strong>and</strong> accelerations during launch,<strong>and</strong> under the effect <strong>of</strong> temperature gradients. Small size high-capacity ceramic capacitorsare sensible to mechanical deformation. Some models are designed to have a better bendingstrength: the automotive <strong>and</strong> “flexible termination” models. The capacitors <strong>of</strong> the EPS werechosen among automotive <strong>and</strong> “flexible termination” models.5.10 Schematics <strong>of</strong> the EPSThe complete schematics <strong>of</strong> the engineering model <strong>of</strong> the EPS card are shown in the AppendixD. They include connectors, jumpers, tests points <strong>and</strong> the deployment switch (switch whichdisconnects the batteries during launch).90
