Questions

How big is the Inductor tester PCB?

It measures 50 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Inductor tester use?

46 parts, built around the LM555N, BC847 and PSMN4R3-30BL. 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 Inductor tester KiCad files?

From the ianrrees/KiCad_talk repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is inductor tester/inductor tester.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Inductor tester design in my own project?

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