Hello!

I recently joined the Designer's Council, and I wanted to get some input
from those of you out there that have been working with IPC specifications.
I have been designing boards with through-hole, SMT and mixed technologies
for some time, but have never had the IPC specs for designing them. In an
effort to "get with the program", I wanted to purchase the specs that would
be most beneficial. Can anyone tell me what specifications best cover the
design of T/H and SMT technology boards?

I also am working on some designs where AC power is present on the boards,
and I am concerned about trace separation for a given voltage. I know that
there are specifications out there that address this, but I am not sure if
they are UL or IPC based. Can anyone point me in the direction of these
specs?

Thanks in advance for your help!
