Hi,



I want to check feasibility of using laminate substrates for an application 
that needs high voltage isolation (several kV) between certain traces.

I am looking at breakdown voltage strength for different materials.



Is the formula sufficient to determine usability?

Breakdown voltage = Dielectric strength x laminate thickness



Or are there any potential concerns with using laminate materials at HV.

I came across some references that mentioned micro-voids in laminate material 
can result in lower effective breakdown strength. How can I quantify the 
reduced effective strength?



Regards,

Vijaya
