💬 Adjustable Boost Converter with Pass-Through

[Koresh]

Just little tip from me :) Use thermal relief instead of direct polygon connection.

It is much more useful in such cases.

Where do I put that exactly?

Sorry if I'm being dense, but how are the thermal reliefs better? What's their advantage?

[Koresh]

@NeverDie It is much easier to solder the wire to pads with relief connection than the wire to directly connected pads. Your soldering point even can be unreliable if your pad is directly connected to very huge polygon and your soldering iron don't have enough power.

Please upload it on PCBS.io and provide a direct link

I've uploaded it on PCBs.io:

ordered but no tested yet. Cost of for PCB: 1,35 USD

@NeverDie I have got MCP1640CT-I/CHY in SOT-23 (BX5V marking on the chip)
Can these be used for this project please?

I also have some 8 pins ones, but there are not suitable

@alexsh1
If the pinout is the same, then the PCB should work.
