Gary,

You should not have a problem with .015 inch spacing for 100V (unless
you have contaminant(s) between the traces).  In fact, I believe the
spacing is conservative & could be reduced.

        Hello All

        I am in need of some input on a design issue relating to track      
        spacing for 100V operation for the internal layers of a 4-layer     
        PCB.
        
        This PCB is 2.0mm thick with a 1mm core and 35um copper. This      

        design has to withstand 85% humidity / 85deg temperature testing   

        for 500 Hours some of which is under 'power-up' conditions.

        The current design has an epoxy based solder mask and conformal 
   
        coating and has an internal spacing of .015", which I believe       
        should be adequate as IPC-D-275 suggests a spacing of only          
        .004-.008" for class 3 assemblies, this figure of .015" has been    
        put to question so I am seeking further input.  

        my questions are:-

1)      What does class 3 mean in terms of general environmental testing  
 
        and in particular 85/85 testing.

2)      Does any body have practical knowledge of what a 'better
spacing'   
        may be.

        Any input would be most appreciated.

        Regards  Gary Willard  -  Substrate Design Engineer
