I was just tinkering with that particular board the other night and if I recall it's about 21x37mm, give or take a mm. It's practically the same size as erv's Luxeon Dimmer (had the two side by side).

And that is, of course, the size of the board alone. I didn't take clash sensor & such into consideration.

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't measure the "thickness", but I can vouch that the whole system fits nicely inside thin-walled 1" blade tube! ;)

Yep that's the specs all right.

Thanks Vector!  ;D

How about turning this into a "sticky" thread where we post the measurements of all the other boards?
This is REALLY important when planning the length and parts of a custom saber (I found out the hard way. :-\)
I was gonna do that a few weeks ago before I got interrupted...

I'll post what I've got and then others can follow suit. (L x W; Metric system please)

MR Vader ANH (2003): 52mm x 24mm

MR Maul TPM (2006): 55mm x 25mm

MR Obi-Wan ROTS (2007): 50mm x 25mm

And the oddball...
MR Anakin AOTC (2002): D = 29.5mm; H = 18mm (because of the plugs)

If I'm not terribly mistaken, some MR sabers use same boards?

Nevertheless, if someone's looking for dimensions of

MR Anakin ROTS (2005/6?): 50mm x 25mm

MR Mace and Luke ROTJ = Same board

MR Anakin ROTS, Obi-Want ROTS = Same board (Some version Variations)

MR Vaders = All the same board, different wrapper

MR Maul = Different than vader in layout, same sound set though.

MR Yoda = Tiny little board for a tiny little saber

Hasbro = Same with some small layout changes for all sabers.

Slightly off topic, but I have a question about the yoda boards. are the sounds any different then the other Jedi boards, or are they just smaller? And can they still handle 6 volts, or is it less for them?

Board is simply smaller...evrythig else is the same...power requirements and sounds are identical to the rest of the Jedi boards.

All Jedi boards = Sound the same as the other Jedi boards.

All Sith boards = Sound the same as the other Sith boards.

The only difference is in the packaging... Board size and layout.

On this topic, does anyone have the dimensions of the economy saber sound boards?  Like the new 2010 Vader, Anakin, and Grevious?  I'm looking at using one of those boards in my first project, but the saber in question doesn't have a lot of room.  Thank you for your assistance!

The yoda boards are tiny.

Howdy, the Vader and Anakin from those sabers are nearly the same with the exception of where the switch sits. I believe the dimentions are roughly 1 inch by 1 inch, don't quote me on that I don't have one readily harvested to say for sure ;D The Grevious econo board I have not handled yet. But I can say for sure that Hasbro also makes a Qui-gon Jin that has a soundboard with nearly the same dimentions as the Vader and Anakin.
 Hope that helps.
