PD Buddy Wye

Power/data splitter for PD Buddy Sink.

This PCB must be 0.6 mm thick so the USB Type-C card edge receptacles work. Copper thickness can be 1 or 2 oz, ENIG finish preferred.

The PCB is made with KiCad, so you'll need that if you want to make any changes. Several PCB fabricators accept KiCad PCB files directly now, but if you intend to order from one that does not, you'll need KiCad to plot the Gerbers.

KiCad 4 supports loading footprint libraries from Git repositories, but its support for doing the same with symbol libraries is lacking. To address this, I added the variable _KI_LIB_GIT. Set this path in the main KiCad window (Preferences > Configure Paths) to point to a local copy of the kicad-library repository to ensure that you're using the latest schematic libraries.

Questions

How big is the Pd buddy wye PCB?

It measures 16.9 × 25 mm and has 2 copper layers, 0.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Pd buddy wye use?

7 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 Pd buddy wye KiCad files?

From the frohoff/pd-buddy-wye repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pd-buddy-wye.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Pd buddy wye design in my own project?

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