Make a 12V DC power board with 5V and 3.3V outputs, chamfered corners, mounting ears, and clearly labeled connectors.

EasyGerber AI

Here's the plan:

A 12V DC power board providing regulated 5V and 3.3V outputs in a chamfered, ear-mounted outline.
Requirements
  • •Separate screw-terminal input and output connectors, sharing ground, with readable voltage and polarity labels.
  • •Generated outline with chamfered body corners and four symmetric mounting ears with M3 clearance holes.
Assumptions
  • •Nominal 12V DC input; non-isolated outputs.
  • •Load currents are unspecified; usable output ratings and thermal limits require verification.
  • •Outline sized to fit the circuitry; component placement automatic.

Designed the 12V power board with 5V and 3.3V outputs, voltage/polarity-labeled screw terminals, chamfered corners, and four M3 mounting ears. The buck stages use Diodes' reference topology. Use correctly polarized, regulated 12V DC; verify the generated switching layout and usable output-current/thermal limits before use.

position the connectors and use custom silkscreen for labels. designators should stay industry standard.

Positioned the 12V input, 5V output, and 3.3V output left-to-right along the bottom edge, with custom voltage and polarity silkscreen labels. Connector designators are now simply J1, J2, and J3, separate from their functional labels.

Arranged the regulators, inductors, and capacitors into two matching power-stage groups above the existing connector row, giving every part a fixed position. Custom voltage/polarity labels and standard designators are preserved; review the generated buck-converter routing before fabrication.

Rotated J1–J3 by 180° so their wire-entry openings face outward, with a small inward adjustment to maintain board-edge clearance.

thanks, could you please put the connectors on the other side? (top side) instead of bottom

EasyGerber AI

A quick clarification before I continue:

Moving J1–J3 to the top edge would overlap the fixed power-stage components and title. How should I make room?

Moved J1–J3 to the top edge with wire entries facing outward, and shifted both power-stage groups and the title lower without changing the board size. Custom voltage/polarity labels, standard designators, and mounting holes are preserved; review the regenerated buck-converter routing before fabrication.

for j1 j2 j3 could you clearly label which one is gnd which ones is 12v in/5v out 3.3./out (the pins).

for the 12v dc power title silkscreen can we be more descriptive? e.g. 12v dc to 5v/3.3v or something similar
