Six-channel relay front panel

Front-panel PCB for the SPHA six-channel relay module.

Design files

  • frontpanel-template.kicad_pro — KiCad project
  • frontpanel-template.kicad_sch — top-level schematic
  • frontpanel-template.kicad_pcb — PCB layout

Working with the project

Open the .kicad_pro file in KiCad. The design includes files originating from an older KiCad workflow; review schematic links, footprints, design rules, zones, and manufacturing outputs after any conversion or upgrade.

KiCad source files and project-specific libraries are the source of truth. Generated BOM, Gerber, assembly, and fabrication-house outputs are excluded from the repository; regenerate and verify them before manufacturing.

Repository notes

Temporary KiCad state, locks, autosaves, and backup directories are excluded by .gitignore. Board revision, tested KiCad version, manufacturing revision, and hardware/firmware compatibility still need to be recorded when provenance is confirmed.

Questions

How big is the Frontpanel template PCB?

It measures 102 × 42 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Frontpanel template use?

17 parts, built around the TLC59116IPW. 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 Frontpanel template KiCad files?

From the sillevl/spha-rel6-frontpanel-hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is frontpanel-template.kicad_pcb and its schematic frontpanel-template.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Frontpanel template design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask sillevl before reusing the design.
