About the Benjolin Gorga PCB

Benjolin Gorga is an open source PCB design by squaresolid, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 77.5 × 100 mm, with 137 components from 34 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the 4021D, TL074D, SSM2164S, TL072D and LM78L09. By type, the board carries 66 resistors, 34 capacitors, 13 diodes, 12 connectors, 9 ICs and 1 transistor.

It belongs with the audio designs in this gallery.

From the project

A eurorack version 1.6 of Rob Hordijk's Benjolin with 100mm x 78mm which significantly reduce the cost of printing PCB. The panel still on eurorack standard size though, so no cost reduction there. The panel design is enhanced with Batak's Gorga (Indonesian tribe from Sumatra) drawings. All Kicad file is provided.

As I was taking care of my wife at the hospital, I decided to redesign Forestcaver's Benjolin https://github.com/forestcaver/Benjolin As I was finishing this, Rob Hordijk passed away and I would like to dedicate this to him. The board come with several changes, which is: - 1206 components instead of 0603 which allows a much friendlier hand soldering - DIP package for SSM2164 as in Indonesia it's pretty hard to find SMD components - Gorga Graphics for Panel (Panel size is still as eurorack standard so no efficient cost production can be made) - 100mm x 78mm circuit board redesign which allows…
