Questions

What parts does the Buckcon use?

17 parts, built around the LM2596S-ADJ and SS54. 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 Buckcon KiCad files?

From the Soham5050/BUCKCCON repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Buckcon/Buckcon.kicad_pcb and its schematic Buckcon/5Vbuckconverter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Buckcon design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Soham5050 before reusing the design.
