Aug 8, 2023 at 13:55 comment added anatol I think everything can be conductive after a certain voltage. The Property is called dielectric strength. Air itself is not conductive, but with a dielectric strength of 3kv/mm it will get conductive at a distance of 1mm at 3kv. And MX4 is typically used within Devices with voltages lower than 24V, whereas in the SMPS the voltages exceed 325V
