Overview

Pcb ucurrent is an open-source printed circuit board by kuon, from the kuon/pcb-ucurrent repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 140 × 40 mm with 32 parts on 21 nets, routed with 84 tracks and 2 vias.

It is built around the OPA189ID and 71BDF30-02-1-AJN. Its parts include 16 resistors, 5 connectors, 3 capacitors, 1 IC and 1 switch.

µcurrent board

This is my own PCB for the µcurrent board.

It is based on https://www.eevblog.com/projects/ucurrent/.

While the base idea is the same, a few things have been modified:

  • There is a rotary switch which can support many different shunt resistor, 12 in the current design.
  • The power supply has been modified to use ±15V to give a greater range.
  • The amplifier has been modified to match the power supply.

Questions

How big is the Pcb ucurrent PCB?

It measures 140 × 40 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Pcb ucurrent use?

32 parts, built around the OPA189ID and 71BDF30-02-1-AJN. 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 Pcb ucurrent KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Pcb ucurrent design in my own project?

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