Questions

How big is the Lowd75 PCB?

It measures 365 × 89 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Lowd75 use?

163 parts, built around the 1N4148W and TIP120. 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 Lowd75 KiCad files?

From the Chaejunhee/lowd70 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is lowd70/lowd75/lowd75.kicad_pcb and its schematic lowd70/lowd75/lowd75.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Lowd75 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Chaejunhee before reusing the design.
