AirGradient CE Card (A7671G) — Hardware

KiCad hardware design files for the AirGradient cellular extension (CE) card — the plug-in 4G modem card for AirGradient air quality monitors.

Overview

The CE card adds 4G cellular connectivity (LTE Cat 1) to AirGradient monitors. It can be used in the AirGradient Open Air, the AirGradient ONE, and the Open Air Max. The card is built around the SIMCom A7671G modem and plugs into the monitor's CE-card connector (CE1), exposing the modem to the host over UART. Version 2.2 adds GNSS support and a USB-C logging interface.

Note: the card originally used the SIMCom A7672G; the Gerber filenames inside the archived production zip and the bundled module 3D model keep that era's naming.

This repository contains the complete electronics design: schematics, PCB layout, bundled 3D models, and the production output set.

Design structure

The design is a single 4-layer board drawn across three schematic sheets:

Toolchain

  • KiCad 10 (file format 2026-03). Symbols and footprints are embedded in the design files; all 3D models are bundled in libraries/ and referenced project-relative — the project opens without any extra library setup.
  • Fabrication Toolkit plugin — generates the Gerber/BOM/CPL production set in JLCPCB-compatible format.
  • Active DRC rules are in PCB/ag-ce-A7671G-card/ag-ce-A7671G-card.kicad_dru.

Fabrication

PCB/ag-ce-A7671G-card/production/ holds the ready-to-order set: Gerber zip, BOM, designators, and pick-and-place positions (generated with Fabrication Toolkit, LCSC part numbers for assembly at JLCPCB).

Versioning & releases

Hardware revisions are tagged on this repository. Per-version release notes and the matching production file set are published on the GitHub Releases page.

Questions

How big is the Ag ce A7671G card PCB?

It measures 44 × 55.1 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Ag ce A7671G card use?

106 parts, built around the WK2132-ISSG, TS3A5018PW, TS3A5018RSVR and ESD5611N-2/TR. 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 Ag ce A7671G card KiCad files?

From the Open-Air-Foundation/pcb-module-ce-card repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/ag-ce-A7671G-card/ag-ce-A7671G-card.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/ag-ce-A7671G-card/SIM-slot.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Ag ce A7671G card design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-SA-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).
