Questions

How big is the TR Switch PCB?

It measures 110 × 70 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the TR Switch use?

85 parts, built around the PHA-13LN, OPA551UA, L7812 and BAV99. 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 TR Switch KiCad files?

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

Can I use the TR Switch design in my own project?

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