intel-edison-pin-breakout

Pin breakout of the Intel Edison Hirose connector to through-hole pin headers for prototyping.

##PCB Design software and addons used

1. Eagle 7.3.0: I use Standard but Light should still be able to open/modify the files.
2. Intel Edison library by Sparkfun (in repo as Edison.lbr)

##Images

This has the 1.5mm Hirose connector which I hand soldered.

The smallest I can make this board to still allow the function of each pin to be silkscreened.

2-layer board so you can solder your pin headers on top or below the board.

##Schematic drawings Images are exported from Eagle at 600dpi.

##Parts required

1. Hirose 70-pin DF40 Series Receptacle Connector. Such as the following taken from Intel's website.

Hirose part number	Stacking height	Digi-key part number	Mouser part number
DF40C-70DS-0.4V(51)	1.5 mm	H11631TR-ND, H11631CT-ND, H11631DKR-ND	798-DF40C70DS04V51
DF40C(2.0)-70DS-0.4V(51)	2.0 mm	H11908TR-ND, H11908CT-ND, H11908DKR-ND	798-DF40C2070DS04V51
DF40HC(3.0)-70DS-0.4V(51)	3.0 mm	n/a

I suggest the 1.5mm height header so the Intel Edison can be laid flat on the board without stressing the connectors between them.

2. 2x 35-pin through-hole pin-headers

I used a 36-pin header like this and broke away the last pin.

##PCB fabrication

PCB fabrication is currently done by Seeedstudio based on the following settings. Remember to consult the order submission guidelines before submitting. Use the provided Gerber generator to produce the Gerber files.

Seeedstudio requires the following gerber files to be zipped up for submission:

1. Top Layer: pcbname.GTL
2. Top Solder Mask: pcbname.GTS
3. Top Silkscreen: pcbname.GTO
4. Bottom Layer: pcbname.GBL
5. Bottom Solder Mask: pcbname.GBS
6. Bottom silkscreen: pcbname.GBO
7. Board Outline:pcbname.GML/GKO
8. Drills: pcbname.TXT
9. Inner Layer: pcbname.GL2(for 4 layer)
10. Inner Layer: pcbname.GL3(for 4 layer)

The zip file has been uploaded to the Releases section.
