Overview

PCIeTest is an open-source printed circuit board by mengstr, from the mengstr/PCIeTestPCB repository on GitHub, published under the CC0-1.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 100 × 100 mm with 22 parts on 383 nets, routed with 964 tracks and 23 vias.

It is built around the 10018783-10200TLF. Its parts include 9 connectors, 2 capacitors, 2 crystals, 1 resistor and 1 diode. It belongs with the computers and single-board computers boards of this library.

PCIeTestPCB

A simple PCB to test the 30 cent PCIe connectors from Mouser (SKU 649-1001878410200TLF). The PCB should be 1.6 mm to fit the connector.\

The PCB is meant to be split into two parts. The bottom part have the edgeconnector and a small DIP prototype area. The top parts holds the PCIe connectors and all five of them should be chained together into a backplane using wires going to card to card forming a bus.

This is a bit tedious, but for a quick test it's fine for me. If/when I will use PCIe connectors in a real project I definitely will make a proper backplane where all connectors are placed on the same PCB. But I didn;t want to spend good money for a test board. :-)

Questions

How big is the PCIeTest PCB?

It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the PCIeTest use?

22 parts, built around the 10018783-10200TLF. 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 PCIeTest KiCad files?

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

Can I use the PCIeTest design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC0-1.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
