Say I have some 230V and 12V traces that should be double isolated. I look up the clearance and creepage, and get the proper isolation distance for pcb layout.
Now for the question, often I see this gap left without soldermask, what are the advantages/disadvantages?
I would think that the path would be less prone to creepage with normal soldermask?
