Happy October everyone! The leaves are falling and there's that crisp scent of winter lurking in the air. Ah, it sure is beautiful! And you know what else is beautiful? Diodes and trimpots, of course. Check out these gorgeous new components:

It's cool. Well, not quite. But it's smoking. Umm, that's not right, either. It's anti-smoking. Whoever redesigned their 493 smoke absorber did a pretty good job - it's much better than it was before! And Hakko even posted a cool video showing how good it is (sorry, can't embed the video here).
