PCB business card
<< < (3/3)

If you want people to keep your card put some useful info on the backside of the card  such as all the footprints of commonly used SMT parts.

guys, you are over-complicating it ^__^. I have a read traditional paper business card that I barely gave 5 of them, so I am not trying to impress anyone... it is just for fun and trying things out. I don't think I can make a gift out of it, maybe for the next time.

Putting smt footprints on back is good advice, but I won't take it here. I will take it when I make a PCB ruler for sure, thanks for reminding me.

I guess for business card, the front should be like in my picture but with my real name instead of channel name. Also, my work phone and email...etc.

what about the back?

I could put my company logo and name in the back... also in gold, how about that?

I will make 10 of these as a test but the next version will be something like a card with 2 pads... if you grab it, it will light some LEDs. So it would have a small battery + ICs in the back.

Decades ago I received an aluminium business card (with text screen printed on it). I kept it for a while until it fell into an open PC which was on. Fortunately no sparks but the aluminium card went straight into the trash.

If you want people to keep it you gotta make it useful.  e.g. Do a uRuler Lite and put rulers for various SMD and connector pin pitches round the edges, with gold pads at the pitch, so its easier to match up.  Put the fine ones on the short sides and the coarser ones on the long sides.  Mark every fiftth pin and number every tenth with Imperial or Metric (depending on the pitch)  total distance from 0 beside it bracketed.
SiliconWizard:
You could also make the backside some sort of SMD prototyping board (with 1.27mm pitch pads for instance with maybe a few standard footprints in between such as SOT23...)
Then it could stand a chance to actually get some use and not end up in the trash bin!
