Octopart Pocket Electronics Reference PCB is Funded

Created: October 27, 2017
Updated: July 1, 2024

Octopart has teamed up with Star Simpson and designed the new Pocket Electronics Reference PCB that we hope you'll find useful. We've taken a credit-card sized PCB and put a compact but readable resistor color code chart on one side, and a to-scale reference of common SMT pin layouts on the other. Hobbyists and professional engineers alike can benefit from having this convenient reference!

Octopart Pocket Electronics Reference PCB is Funded

UPDATE: Our crowdfunding campaign was successful! you can now order the Pocket Electronics Reference PCB from CrowdSupply and Adafruit!

I'm thrilled to announce, that after only 9 days, The Octopart Pocket Electronics Reference PCB crowdfunding campaign reached 100% funding - thank you for your support! Happily this occasion has coincided with the Open Hardware Summit where Star and I shot this photo in celebration.
