Determination of Creepage and Clearance in PCB Layout
1. Introduction Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design involves numerous critical considerations to ensure reliability, safety, and compliance with industry standards. Among these, creepage distance and clearance (electrical gap) are fundamental parameters that influence the PCB’s performance, especially in high-voltage and high-reliability applications. Improper spacing between conductive elements can lead to electrical breakdown, arcing, or short…
