Questions
How big is the CoolerMasterUsbC PCB?
It measures 27.3 × 15 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the CoolerMasterUsbC use?
8 parts, built around the USBLC6-2SC6. 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 CoolerMasterUsbC KiCad files?
From the davek184/CoolerMasterUsbC repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/CoolerMaster-USB-C.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/CoolerMaster-USB-C.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the CoolerMasterUsbC design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
