Currently Playing: IPC-2221 or IEC 60664-1? Picking the Right PCB Spacing Standard

Altium Develop brings your design rules, requirements, and manufacturing feedback into one cloud-based platform so spacing and compliance issues get flagged long before fabrication: hhttps://tinyurl.com/2jxk88fk Confused about clearance vs. creepage distance in your PCB design? This short clip tackles a common viewer question: should you focus on clearance spacing, creepage distance, or both — and which standard applies, IPC-2221 or IEC 60664-1? You'll learn why IPC-2221 works as a generic printed circuit board design standard, when more specific electrical and performance standards take over, and how client requirements ultimately dictate the spacing rules you follow. Whether you're working on high voltage PCB design or just locking down your board's clearance and creepage values, this quick explainer clears up the confusion. We also point you to the Altium blog, where clearance distances for both Revision B and Revision C of the IPC-2221 standard are compiled in one place — with creepage data on the way. Watch to make sure your next PCB layout meets the right safety and spacing standards before it ever reaches fabrication. 💡 Stay Connected: Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more in-depth tutorials and tips from @AltiumAcademy Share your thoughts and questions in the comments below! 👉 Subscribe for more: https://www.youtube.com/@AltiumAcademy?sub_confirmation=1 Don't forget to follow us on social to stay up-to-date on the latest Altium Academy content. 👉 Follow Altium on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@altiumdesigner 👉 Follow Altium on Twitter: https://twitter.com/altium 👉 Follow Altium on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/altium/ 👉 Follow Altium on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AltiumOfficial/ The Altium Academy is an online experience created to bring modern education to PCB Designers and Engineers all across the world.
