Questions

How big is the Pre charge controller PCB?

It measures 126 × 52.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Pre charge controller use?

57 parts, built around the MOC3083M and BC556. 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 Pre charge controller KiCad files?

From the switchcraft/kicad-projects repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pre-charge_controller/pre-charge_controller.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Pre charge controller design in my own project?

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