Questions

How big is the Bms segment PCB?

It measures 120 × 65 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.61 mm thick.

What parts does the Bms segment use?

206 parts, built around the ADUM1252AWA+, MAX14921ECS+, IRLML0060 and BYG20J. 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 Bms segment KiCad files?

From the york-fs/bms-segment repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is bms_segment.kicad_pcb and its schematic balance.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Bms segment design in my own project?

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