Founded in 1935 by Kenzo Saito in Tokyo to produce iron-based magnetic material ferrite. Manufactured magnetic tape from 1952, followed by compact cassettes in 1966. Produced five million ferrite cores for Japanese military radio receivers
RF modules transmit and receive radio signals between devices. Can transmit up to 500 feet using RF CMOS technology. Require careful manufacturing monitoring and certification. Often used in consumer applications like garage door openers
Both are small outline transistors used in consumer electronics. SOT23 has 3 terminals, 1.9mm pitch, 2.9mm x 1.33mm x 1mm body. SOT323 has 3 leads, 1.3mm pitch, 2mm x 1.25mm x 0.95mm body
