minus-squareRubberElectrons@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·6 months agoSometimes it happens even below the arc breakdown voltage via air… Air molecules are slightly less dense along the surface of a smooth flat surface due to molecular ‘bounce’, so electrons creep along the lower density of a surface. Hence, creepage on a PCB.
