Questions
How big is the 1 dc psu PCB?
It measures 117 × 95 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the 1 dc psu use?
50 parts, built around the L7812, LM393, BC557 and BD135. 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 1 dc psu KiCad files?
From the arafat-siju/electronics-projects repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is DC_power_supply(0~30v)/K i CAD/1_dc-psu.kicad_pcb and its schematic DC_power_supply(0~30v)/K i CAD/1_dc-psu.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the 1 dc psu design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask arafat-siju before reusing the design.
