Notes

  • Designed using kicad version 2014-08-24 BZR 5093. Older versions (like 2013-ish) will open the schematic but could fail to load the kicad-pcb file.

  • 3D models come from http://smisioto.no-ip.org/elettronica/kicad/kicad.htm

  • BOM was chosen based on digikey stock, automatically generated by a kicad python script

Questions

How big is the OpenPSU PCB?

It measures 100 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the OpenPSU use?

88 parts, built around the MC34071D, ADR02ARZ, BC846B and BC857A. 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 OpenPSU KiCad files?

From the mrkindustries/openPSU repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/design/openPSU.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the OpenPSU design in my own project?

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