Questions

How big is the Serial breadboard adapter PCB?

It measures 10.2 × 12.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Serial breadboard adapter use?

12 parts, built around the BSS138PS. 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 Serial breadboard adapter KiCad files?

From the mh21/breadboard-adapters repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is serial/serial-breadboard-adapter.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Serial breadboard adapter design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-4.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
