Overview

Ypanel is an open-source printed circuit board by spacecraft-design-lab-2019, from the spacecraft-design-lab-2019/Solar-Panel--Y repository on GitHub. It is a 6-layer board of 64 × 58 mm with 61 parts on 35 nets, routed with 1,081 tracks and 66 vias.

It is built around the TSL2561T, SDM20U40-7-FS and SXP.18.4.A.02, with the XF2M-1015-1A among its other parts. Its parts include 20 resistors, 10 capacitors, 5 diodes, 4 ICs and 4 connectors.

Requirements:

  • 58x64 mm
  • See -Ycutout.dxf for board outline, including holes for camera, screws, and killswitches
  • 3 mm "rails" run along long side (64 mm) of board - don't place any components here
  • On bottom face of board (i.e. the internal side), there are 7mm square posts centered around each corner screw hole, and boards mounted to the outside of these. No components can go within these squares, and no components can be bisected by the boards (so components must be either inside of outside of the boards.) These zones are drawn onto the board design for reference
  • In addition to components common to all external boards (solar cells, diodes, MPPT circuit, magnetorquers, flat-flex cable, IC), the -Y board also has 2 killswitches and a patch antenna.
  • The killswitches must be mounted so that they are fully depressed at the inner edge of the 3 mm rails
  • The patch antenna needs to be somewhere on the external face (same face as the solar cells)
  • The flat-flex cable connector needs to remain where it is in the current design (rev2)

Questions

How big is the Ypanel PCB?

It measures 64 × 58 mm and has 6 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Ypanel use?

61 parts, built around the TSL2561T, SDM20U40-7-FS, SXP.18.4.A.02 and XF2M-1015-1A. 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 Ypanel KiCad files?

From the spacecraft-design-lab-2019/Solar-Panel--Y repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ypanel.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Ypanel design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask spacecraft-design-lab-2019 before reusing the design.
