Overview

Filter Carrier Board is an open-source printed circuit board by JordanAceto, from the JordanAceto/Filter_Carrier_Board repository on GitHub, published under the CC-BY-4.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 58.4 × 99.1 mm with 43 parts on 23 nets, routed with 175 tracks and 25 vias.

It is built around the TL072 and PJ301M-12. Its parts include 14 capacitors, 12 resistors, 10 connectors and 3 ICs. It belongs with the computers and single-board computers boards of this library.

PCB carrier board for VCF plug-in boards.

SCHEMATIC

This PCB is designed to accomodate various filter boards documented elsewhere on my github page. Pots and jacks are mounted on this board, which can be affixed to a Eurorack panel. This way you can have one carrier board/panel, and swap in various VCF designs.

A 12hp pcb panel is included in this repo as a cheap panel option.

Since the panal and panel-mount components are typically a large expense in a synth module, this allows you to evaluate and experiment with different filter designs economically.

Various plug-in boards have already been designed as part of a different project, and this seemed like an easy way to leverage an existing design in order to mess around with a Eurorack setup.

Here is a link to the repository of the plug-in boards: LINK

Questions

How big is the Filter Carrier Board PCB?

It measures 58.4 × 99.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Filter Carrier Board use?

43 parts, built around the TL072 and PJ301M-12. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Filter Carrier Board KiCad files?

From the JordanAceto/Filter_Carrier_Board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is main_pcb/kicad_docs/filter_carrier_board.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Filter Carrier Board design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-4.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
