Questions

How big is the Dc shield PCB?

It measures 68.6 × 53.3 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Dc shield use?

53 parts, built around the VR10S12, ACS712ELCTR-20A-T, IFX9201SGAUMA1 and AT24C256C-SSHL-T. 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 Dc shield KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Dc shield design in my own project?

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