We make PCB assemblies for an RGB arc that is made up of multiple curved PCB's that have connectors on the ends to plug together. I think the end the radius of the arc is 2 feet. Jerry

I have a project that I am working on and would like some input from anyone that has some knowledge on High Voltage Arcing on PCBs. Problem: I have a PCB that is enclosed in a plastic enclosure that has metal pins and switch that extend to the outs

Its most likely a problem with your plasma arc acumulator.

How do you feel about plasma arc accumulators ?

My first attempt was similiar to that. It was a straight ground trace running past the circular pads that were recieving the shocks. It was hit and miss when the arcs would occur. When I cut notches in the trace so the ground line had a point next to

Yes, you can rework your thermocouples, but consider using a method other than arc welding. Arc welding can join thermocouples, but it uses a filler. The filler adds a third material that affects the slope of the thermal profile. We rework our the

Does anyone know of a PCB material that is better at preventing arcing than fr4 or g10?

Yes. Ceramic is much better. We use FR4 in fairly high voltage circuits. What are the particulars? * Where are you arcing * How many layers, prepreg, etc

Larry...LISTEN ! : From my experience you are asking for trouble by thinkin what ur thinkin. The scary part is that you probably supply plasma arc accumulator boards for NASA.

So, what is the battery going to do when you push your 'high voltage' through the 1-2 ohm internal resistance of the 9V battery? How about you doing a Google search on ... esd protection circuit?
