Components
SMD Parts:
- 2x
CT3151SP: Banana plugs for VBat & GND - footprint - 1x
FTSH‑107‑01‑L‑DV‑K‑A: ST-Link debug connector, uses UART A from PC104 - footprint - 1x
ERF8-030-05.0-L-DV-TR: Move Backplane connector - footprint - 1x
Molex 53261–1071 10pin: S-Band MCU Debug Connector - Same MCU Debug connector on S-Band module - footprint - S-Band connector:
- Either set of two proper 52 Pin 2.54 Pitch connectors like these overpriced ones (ESQ-126-39-G-D)
- Or just a bunch of female and male 2.54mm Pitch connectors cut and combined to get 4 rows x 26 Pins (female for S-Band board, male for this Adapter) - maybe bad idea, since you then cannot stack more than one board on top of the S-Band module...
- 1x 0805 100nF capacitor
- 1x Würth 430152050826 Tactile Switch
Cables:
- Adapter Backplane female to Backplane female: Possibly a Samtec ERCD with 30pos ? - looks very expensive, who even selected the Backplane connector, maybe they know which cable to use...
- S-Band MCU Debug Connector: Molex PicoBlade 1.25mm, Female-to-Female, 300.00mm Length, 10 Circuits - Pin order on one side has to be reversed... See image below,
Cshould come out on the 3rd from the bottom and not 3rd from top, can easily be done with a screwdrivers

Questions
How big is the S Band Adapter PCB?
It measures 94 × 61 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the S Band Adapter use?
10 parts, built around the CT3151SP-2, ERF8-030-05.0-L-DV-TR and FTSH-107-01-L-DV-K-A. 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 S Band Adapter KiCad files?
From the playlogo/S-Band-Adapter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/S-Band Adapter/S-Band Adapter.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/S-Band Adapter/S-Band Adapter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the S Band Adapter design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask playlogo before reusing the design.
