Minimum board size?

Design Tools and Resources DKRed
#1

Hi,
I have a PCB with dimensions of 15.2 x 29.2 mm. Does that meet your minimum dimension requirement? I’ll want 75 pcs.

Thanks!
Bill

Please see the link below for all the specifications. Glenda

The minimum board size is 25.4mm (1") square, thus the design mentioned would not meet the current requirements for the DK Red program.

If I have a board that is 0.8 in. x 2 in., will that still meet the minimum requirements?

The DKRed resources page says that the board must be 1 in. x 1 in. Does that mean the board needs to be at least 1 in. in all dimensions or does it mean the board must be at least 1 sq. in. total (e.g. I could have a long and narrow board that is still more than 1 sq. in.)?

Hi @ShawnHymel and thank you for the question! The system requirements are indeed the 1 inch width and 1 inch length (not 1 sq inches). If you can make the board design 1 x 2 inches then the design can meet that requirement for the DKRed program.

Sorry if I am beating a dead horse, but does this mean the board size has to be a multiple of 1"? Or can it be 1.5" x 1" for example?

Hey @dimitry_ishenko, thank you for your question. There are no requirements in terms of increments. So a 1.5" x 1" board will be acceptable.

Thanks @Lindsay_1029, that makes sense.

But the minimum has to be 1" x 1"? In other words, if I have 0.75" x 1", will that not qualify?

Correct, the minimum is it needs to be an inch length and an inch width.
