There's a company called Tintronics (http:\\www.tintronics.com) that can do that for you. I called to make sure they can do 5-leaded T0-220 packages...I did make an assumption though, you want them formed in a zip pattern right? The girl I talked to said they could do that. I gave her your name and phone number. Their contact info is: Tintronics Industries 2122 Metro Circle Suite A Huntsville, Alabama (256) 650-0220 (weird how the last digits of the number are 220...hehehe) (256) 650-0230 FAX -Steve Gregory- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8d To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt delivery of Technet send the following message: SET Technet NOMAIL Search previous postings at: www.ipc.org > On-Line Resources & Databases > E-mail Archives Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
