There are recommended
All Agilent data sheets report the
creepage and clearance inherent
to the optocoupler component
itself. These dimensions are
needed as a starting point for the
equipment designer when
determining the circuit insulation
requirements. However, once
mounted on a printed circuit
clearance requirements must be
met as specified for individual
equipment standards. For
creepage, the shortest distance
path along the surface of a
printed circuit board between the
solder fillets of the input and
output leads must be considered.
techniques such as grooves and
ribs which may be used on a
printed circuit board to achieve
desired creepage and clearances.
Creepage and clearance distances
will also change depending on
factors such as pollution degree
and insulation level.
