Questions

How big is the QPD A2 Quad Cell Adapter PCB?

It measures 30 × 45.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the QPD A2 Quad Cell Adapter use?

9 parts. 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 QPD A2 Quad Cell Adapter KiCad files?

From the thomabir/QPD-A2 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/QPD-A2 Quad Cell Adapter.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad/QPD-A2 Quad Cell Adapter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the QPD A2 Quad Cell Adapter design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-W-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
