The Evaluation of Spacings in Electronic Product Design
M. A. Lamothe
Creepage distance and clearance requirements are tied to
a variety of electrical and environmental factors addressed
by safety standards.
Equipment intended to be approved to IEC standards must be
designed with spacings between conductive parts that are sufficient
to ensure user safety in the presence of hazardous voltages.
Designers need to be familiar with the effects of pollution
degree, overvoltage category, and working voltage on their
decisions regarding spacing distances. The role of creepage
distance and clearance in the designing of an electrical product
with hazardous voltages present is often imperfectly understood,
as is the fact that these influences represent a three-dimensional
problem. Table of contents

Review quote
This tutorial for product designers and engineers offers guidance
on the development of consumer portable electronics that,
presumably, won't drive users crazy. That means the designer
must understand how to shepherd a product through all the
marketing, manufacturing, and procurement people who have
a hand in development. Haskell(an electronics product design
engineer) discusses the marketplace, the economics underlying
product development, and the features customers do and don't
like. He offers detailed information about the engineering
of products, with attention to interface and size problems,
convenience
and utility parameters, technology trade-offs, and durability.

Job Description
Our Client is looking for a Product Designer for power conversion
products. The Company is a leading developer and manufacturer
of power conversion products for the renewable energy industry.
Power conversion is a critical element of clean power integration
with electricity grids around the world. Highly intelligent
power inverters are needed to efficiently convert the raw
power generated by solar modules, small wind turbines, fuel
cells, micro-turbines, and battery storage into high quality
AC power that is usable in homes and businesses. The right
candidate will be responsible for product design from prototyping
to manufacturing of power conversion products.Job Requirements
Duties of the Position:
· Bachelor in Electrical Engineering. Five plus years of
product design experience, including design and debugging
PCA’s and systems.
· Proven experience in the following areas: analog design,
design with programmable logic, design with microprocessors,
basic firmware development, power supplies and high current
systems.
· Strong electronics manufacturing experience – especially
in a contract manufacturing environment.
Clearance is the shortest distance between two conductive
parts, or between a conductive part and the bounding surface
of the equipment, measured through air. Components that are
mounted above the printed circuit board (PCB) must also be
considered in the evaluation of clearance. Creepage distance
is the shortest path between two conductive parts, or between
a conductive part and the bounding surface of the equipment,
measured along the surface of the insulation. All conductive
parts are considered in evaluating creepage distance, including
the pads around soldered connections. The typical solder resist
does not reduce the creepage distance required on a PCB.
