The Multipurpose PCB Ruler was designed as a quick reference tool for PCB design and development. During PCB design and debugging, designers often need to look up component dimensions, PCB design calculations, and manufacturing specifications. The ruler brings these commonly needed references together in a single tool, reducing the need to search for them separately.

It includes IC package details, SMD package dimensions for resistors, capacitors, and diodes, trace-width and silkscreen-size references, hole and via specifications, and current-carrying comparisons. These references allow designers to quickly check commonly used PCB parameters during design, assembly, and debugging.

The ruler was manufactured in six different solder-mask colors, making the different versions easy to distinguish and use as visual references while also giving the finished boards a distinct appearance.
