Automated Creepage Analysis for Safer PCB Design
Why creepage analysis matters in modern PCB designAs soon as your design goes above 30 V, creepage is no longer a side topic. Minimum distances between conductive parts become a…

Spot PCB safety risks before they become design problemsIn PCB development, safety and clearance issues often stay hidden until late in the process. PCB-Investigator’s Hazard Analysis plug-in changes that by…
Catch issues before they become respinsIn PCB development, the real cost is often not the first design pass, but the issues that escape review and show up later in prototyping…
PCB development needs more than layout toolsIn modern electronics projects, a solid PCB layout is only the starting point. Teams that want to deliver reliable products need to verify design…
Why creepage matters in high-voltage PCB designOnce a design exceeds 30 V, safety requirements become much stricter. Standards such as DIN EN 60664 / VDE 0110, IPC-2221A, and UL60950-1 define…
Catch clearance risks before they become real failuresIn PCB development, it is easy to focus on routing, performance, and manufacturability. But for safety-critical designs, one of the most important questions…
From first design to production readinessIn PCB development, the visible layout is only part of the story. The details that determine quality and manufacturability often sit deeper in the design…
Keep everything in view from development to productionWhen engineering, fabrication, and quality teams rely on separate tools, gaps appear quickly: duplicated checks, inconsistent data, and unnecessary risk during handover. PCB-Investigator…
Catch short-circuit risks before they reach fabricationIn PCB design, the most dangerous issues are often not the obvious ones. Narrow clearances, exposed copper, uncoated drill holes, board-edge geometries, and contamination-sensitive…
In safety‑critical electronic applications, every micrometer counts. Even minimal contamination, moisture, or insufficient spacing between conductive areas can potentially lead to short circuits — with serious consequences for reliability and…
