If the PCB is sealed with solid sealant, how to determine the creepage distance and clearance?

functional insulation as well as other insulation exists on circuit boards. Typically, the surface environment of a circuit board is determined to be either Pollution degree 3 or pollution degree 2.If the circuit board is mounted in an electrical box and sealed with a solid sealant, the sealing will look as follows: What should be…

How are the creepage distances and electrical clearances of PTC heating element surfaces determined?

We are discussing here the second structure of the PTC heating element, PTC heating element structure please refer to the explanation of its definition. How is the creepage distance of the functional insulation at the location of the red circle in Figure 1 determined? We all know that NOTE 1 of TABLE 18 section has…

Clause 3 – How to understand the definition of “creepage distance”

creepage distance: shortest distance along the surface of insulation between two conductive parts or between a conductive part and the accessible surface. Charges can be propagated in a directional manner through the air, thus forming an current. This is the meaning of clearance. Charges can actually also propagate through the insulating material itself, because no…
