Version 2C:

100mm x 60mm

Small enough for cheaper PCB costs

Problems:

Mounting holes too close too switches

[made pcb]

Version 2B:

----------

49 keys, 120 mm x 55 mm board

Improved button spacing, better mounting hole placement

Problem: Itead Studio want boards <10 cm (100mm)

Need to move mounting holes, and squeeze buttons together a bit…

Version 2A:

----------

44 keys, 10cm x 5cm board

Improved button spacing, better mounting hole placement

Version 1:

----------

49 keys, 10cm x 5cm board

Questions

How big is the Keypad 47 PCB?

It measures 99.1 × 59.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 2.03 mm thick.

What parts does the Keypad 47 use?

109 parts, built around the TCA8418RTW. 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 Keypad 47 KiCad files?

From the soupie-62/Keypad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/47_Button/Keypad_47.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Keypad 47 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
