Surface Mount Packaging

[smallbearelec]

I just got a letter from New Japan Radio announcing "last buy" for their devices in the TO-92 package.

This does not affect me much immediately, as I have long gone to other vendors for the devices that they are eliminating. But it is going to increasigly become an issue as leaded devices are phased out. If you hear of such situations respecting anything that is currently on my Stock List or otherwise popular, please do me--and your fellow DIYers--a favor by letting me know.
