Questions

How big is the Linear regulator practice PCB?

It measures 50 × 60 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Linear regulator practice use?

25 parts, built around the L7805, L7809 and L7812. 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 Linear regulator practice KiCad files?

From the retrobuiltRyan/Linear-Regulator-Practice-PCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad files/linear_regulator_practice.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad files/linear_regulator_practice.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Linear regulator practice design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the BSD-3-Clause licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
