RC-Model LED Light Distribution PCB

This small PCB allows you to distribute power for LED lightning in your RC-models. One PCB can handle multiple in- and outputs, through soldering jumpers you are also able to combine in- and outputs. Each output provides through-holes for LED series resistors, 2 outputs can be tied together for a single series resistor for 2 LEDs.

Usage

Usage should be fairly clear, you can connect the wires either through the provided through-holes or by using the soldering pads.

Production files

Subfolder gerber contains files required for production. These files have been prepared for JLCPCB.

Questions

How big is the RC LightDistribution PCB?

It measures 55.9 × 35.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the RC LightDistribution use?

50 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 RC LightDistribution KiCad files?

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

Can I use the RC LightDistribution design in my own project?

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