Overview

PowerPoleDist is an open-source printed circuit board by zeroping, from the zeroping/PowerPoleDist repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 130 × 40 mm with 49 parts on 14 nets, routed with 102 tracks and 1 via.

Its parts include 10 capacitors, 10 resistors, 10 diodes, 6 connectors and 5 fuses.

README

PCB/README.md

These are the files for the circuit board, designed in KiCAD 5.0.2. There are a couple of custom libraries that I made for the Anderson PowerPole right-angle connectors and the fuse holders, but they should be included here.

Note that there are two parallel versions of many of the fust check components - this lets you build the board using either through-hole or surface-mount components, but I recommend the through-hole components if you're building the boards as one-offs.

Questions

How big is the PowerPoleDist PCB?

It measures 130 × 40 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the PowerPoleDist use?

49 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 PowerPoleDist KiCad files?

From the zeroping/PowerPoleDist repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/powerpoledist.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the PowerPoleDist design in my own project?

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