nRF9160 Altium Footprint

[kylekelly]

The nRF9160 datasheet tells the reader to refer to the website for Altium files. However, the only files I can find are for the development board. Is it possible to release just the footprint for the device? Or is there a drawing I can work from to create my own footprint? Thanks.

Hi Kylekelly,

So the only hardware files we provide right now is the HW files for the development board(DK) and Thingy:91. 

Here is the link to the download section for the nrf9160 SiP. In the HW files there is both GERBER and Altium files. 

Here is a link to the product specification's hardware section, there is more information there regarding the SiP.


Some places like Octopart do provide files for different footprint and STEP models for Altium Designer, EAGLE, KiCad, and OrCAD.

Here is a older question on Devzone of similar manner: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/49281/nrf9160-footprint , it includes a GERBER zip file of the SiP.

Regards,
Jonathan
