Questions
How big is the PowerBox PCB?
It measures 65 × 80 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the PowerBox use?
55 parts, built around the BTS50010-1TAE. 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 PowerBox KiCad files?
From the patwitt/PGRacingElectronics repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PDM/PCB/PDM_v1/PowerBox.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the PowerBox design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask patwitt before reusing the design.
