For a lot of smaller companies over seas the only solution is to find someone who actually is ready to hold the MDoc and sign for your product. This means that he wants to be covered against government claims (going to jail). These guys want you to sign a contract protecting them against the

PCB coating questions

In looking at meeting CSA and UL spacing requirements for some of our PCB's (in power supplies up to 600 V) some questions concerning the use of conformal coatings (allowing reduction of spacing) have come up. The information that I am seeking is for both CSA and UL; the wording that they use

Eric, We have run into the same problem here at Emulex. Our Host PC's need to provide Class B compliance - something that seems hard to find these days. We have evaluated many, many, many PCs, and in the end, decided on a Gateway 2000 Tower. Our requirements are more stringent than most,

PSNet Richard, The legal questions can only be answered by European lawyers and courts. As far as I know, there have not been any cases which looked to hold non-Europeans responsible to the extent they would be fined or serve jail time. If it is a major problem we can expect

Hi Allen: Does anyone know how to calculate minimum distances between traces on a printed circuit board that would allow one to pass the dielectric test at a given voltage? Or has anyone taken any empirical data that would shed light on this topic? Also, would trace width have an impact

I fully support Lacey's views about performing some immunity testing on the products, in order to improve their reliability. Long before FCC/EU implemented EMC requirements on the electronic products, IBM had formulated emissions and immunity standards for their products. Even now some of the
