Start with the news release Rugged flame-retardent laminates for military PCBs from Rogers, which we summarised at the time by saying "Rogers has introduced XT/duroid high-performance thermoplastic laminate materials, suitable for high-frequency multilayer circuits in military, aerospace and deep-space applications.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Illumimate meets needs of thin-screen LED TVs from Molex: "Designed to meet the low-power needs of thin-screen LED TVs and other compact devices, the Illumimate wire-to-board connector system has a 2mm pitch, 4.05mm mated height and 6.35mm width.".
 
In December 2010, we covered the news from Bulgin Components - take a look at Vandal-resistant switches enable access control which says: "Bulgin's MPI range of illuminated vandal-resistant switches are said to be ideal for access-control and door-entry applications.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Amphenol, Rugged connectors for oil and gas downhole tools, as well as LNAs target wireless communications markets from Freescale Semiconductor, and Allegro ACS711 IC for AC or DC current sensing from Allegro Microsystems.
