Overview
Sensorstrip coupler is an open-source printed circuit board by eatnooM, from the eatnooM/sensorstrip repository on GitHub, published under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 10 × 20 mm with 2 parts on 2 nets, routed with 1 track and 2 vias.
README
sensorstrip-power-emitter/README.mdsensorstrip-power-emitter
A small and elegant board that will take 5V from its USB-C board to power its own LEDs and pass it on to any other emitter boards in your setup.

This board is ideal for the smallest setup possible with no dedicated power board.
BOM
| Reference | Part desc / number | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| J1 | 6-pin SMD Type C connector - Mouser / LCSC | |
| J2 | Molex 53261-0271 - Mouser | |
| - | Picoblade Cable assembly - Preassembled - Mouser (60cm length) / LCSC - housing + LCSC - terminal | Need one of these for each emitter board |
| F1 | 0805 PTC - Mouser / LCSC | Overcurrent protection |
| D1-3 | IR LED - 940nm - Mouser | |
| D4 | Status LED - Mouser / LCSC | Optional |
| R1 | 7-120R 0805 - Mouser / LCSC | Value depends on your LEDs - 7-10R work well with SFH-4547 |
| R2,R3 | 5.1K 0603 - Mouser / LCSC | Required if powering from C-C cable |
| R4 | 1K 0603 - Mouser / LCSC | Required for status LED |
| SW1 | DPDT - Mouser / LCSC | Optional, but recommended |

Questions
How big is the Sensorstrip coupler PCB?
It measures 10 × 20 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Sensorstrip coupler use?
2 parts. 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 Sensorstrip coupler KiCad files?
From the eatnooM/sensorstrip repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is sensorstrip-coupler/sensorstrip-coupler.kicad_pcb and its schematic sensorstrip-coupler/sensorstrip-coupler.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Sensorstrip coupler 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).
