Clearance and Creepage

The clearance and creepage distance are important parameters while designing electrical assemblies. Optimize your design process to ensure the safety of your products.

Accurate clearance and creepage for improved safety and product design

Electrical product safety is as essential as ever for your employees—especially now that more products have mechatronic elements incorporated into their designs. Industries like aerospace and defense, automotive, and high tech and electronics face growing challenges protecting their workforce and systems from the risk of shock.

This is where measurement of clearance and creepage distance is crucial to ensure every certification requirement—including UL, IEC, and CSA—is met. Creepage is the shortest distance between two conducting points along the surface of an insultating material, while clearance is the shortest distance in the air between two conducting parts.

Don’t limit electromechanical safety analysis to traditional methods. See how the Creo Clearance and Creepage extension can help you ensure product safety and optimize your electromechanical detailed design process.
