determining conductor spacing for pcb
Hello,
I need clarification regarding conductor spacing on a PCB. I want to make a Relay PCB that will operate at up to 170VAC. The trace width will be .040", OD of the solder pads will be .070". The PCB treminal blocks I will be using have a pitch ot .1". Based on this I have a .030" spacing between the solder pads of the terminal block posts.
I have looked at the IPC-2221 Table 6-1. I will have solder mask on the board, I think it qualifies for the column B4 External Conductors Coated which only requires a clearence of .016".
Does solder mack qualify as a perm poly coating?
With tha above information can I use the .1" pcb terminal blocks without any problems regarding the voltage level I am dealing with?
Thank you,
Ron
