General
The LDG-A series of enclosures are fully insulated enclosures.
The screw clamp terminals are protected against accidental
contact in accordance with VDE 0100 Part 570, VDE 0160
Part 100 and VBG 4.
Designed for easy installation, these screw terminals can be
soldered by wave, allowing the manufacturing of the PCB
boards in one step.

The permissible operating voltages depend on the customer application and on the applicable or specified safety require-
ments. Insulation coordination according to IEC 60664-1 has to be regarded for the complete electrical device. Therefore, the
maximum creepage and clearance distances of the mated connectors are specified for consideration as a part of the whole
current path. In practice, reductions in creepage or clearance distances may occur due to the conductive pattern of the prin-
ted board or the wiring used, and have to be taken into account separately. As a result the creepage and clearance distances
for the application may be reduced compared to those of the connector.
