A reissue of the CEM3340 is extremely unlikely since the small niche market wouldn't come close to recouping the expense of redesigning the substrate for modern fab labs and satisfying a minimum order or 100,000. |
Thx for this man.
I thought that some kind of electronic component was used to lessen the temperature issue.
