It measures 50 × 20 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
74 parts, built around the AD8331ARQZ, RO-3.309S, ADM7150ARDZ-5.0 and ADTT1-6+. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
From the stgloorious/current-probe repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/current_probe.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/current_probe.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
