en60950,clearence,creepage

For purposes of EN60950 compliance you might want to take a look at this web site:

http://www.creepage.com

It is important to know that EN60950 does not consider soldemask to be insulation.

creepage clearance difference

Hi All,

It may also be applicable to note that in many of the EN standards it is also a mater of enviorment as to what standard of creepage and clearance you are held accountable too. In other words there are in fact different regulations on distances for clearance and creepage depending on how dirty the enviornment you will need to be operating in. Contamination on a pcb can be a major source of failures especially when you are dealing with higher voltages.


just my 2 cents

regards
