PDB is an open-source printed circuit board by ROVolutionaries, from the ROVolutionaries/ROVolution-2025 repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 2-layer board of 145 × 81.1 mm with 23 parts on 3 nets, routed with 129 tracks and 0 vias.
Its parts include 12 connectors, 5 capacitors, 1 IC and 1 diode.
Project created in KiCAD 8.0 PCB for distributing 12V and 5V power to other component 12 V XT60 Connectors for 8 ESCs, 2 for auxillary components 5V JST8 Connector Parallel capacitance added on 12 V tether line to balance out tether inductance, reducing voltage spikes due to changes in current drad TVS diode to protect if transient voltage spikes do occur as described above

It measures 145 × 81.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
23 parts. 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.
From the ROVolutionaries/ROVolution-2025 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/Power_Distribution_Board/PDB.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/Control_Board/Control_Board.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
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).
