Questions

How big is the PiezoPhone PCB?

It measures 74.7 × 100.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the PiezoPhone use?

57 parts, built around the LM386, SB150-E3/73 and SJ1-3525NG. 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 PiezoPhone KiCad files?

From the rdpoor/PiezoPhone repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PiezoPhone/_restore_backup_2026-07-01T14-12-37-191/PiezoPhone.kicad_pcb and its schematic PiezoPhone/PiezoPhone.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the PiezoPhone design in my own project?

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