Questions

How big is the PCB 2 PCB?

It measures 52.5 × 38.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the PCB 2 use?

18 parts, built around the IRF540N. 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 PCB 2 KiCad files?

From the sachinp-engineer/PCB-Projects repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Boost-Converter/Kicad Files/PCB 2.kicad_pcb and its schematic Boost-Converter/Kicad Files/PCB 2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the PCB 2 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).
