Electronic Design UPDATE edited by Richard Gawel, Managing Editor
The defense and aerospace industries need highly reliable leaded parts, but they also want to buy commercial off-the-shelf components. The problem is that most parts suppliers have shifted to lead-free versions, leaving defense and aerospace scrambling for older leaded inventory or switching to more expensive components that meet military specifications. And it all began with the $900 hammer...

SMT Pushbutton Switches Are Totally Process-CompatibleWith the Series 39-8 family of low-cost, miniature, surface-mount, solid-state pushbutton switches from ITW Switches, designers can apply, process, and Hall-effect a chip and an (optional) LED to a printed-circuit board. Designers then can simply snap the switch's actuator in place, manually or robotically, completing a totally process-compatible pushbutton switching system.
