All Avago 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 insula-
tion requirements. However, once mounted on a printed
circuit board, minimum creepage and clearance require-
ments must be met as specied for individual equipment
standards. For creepage, the shortest distance path along
the surface of a printed circuit board between the solder
llets of the input and output leads must be considered.
There are recommended 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.
