Analog Devices have the ADXL50 which comes in a 10-pin TO-5 can. It is
primarily used with air-bags and has a 1994 projected price of $5 in
quantities. In the Electronic Design August 8, 1991 issue it quoted the current
price as $21.75 for 1000 off quantities.

For more information ring Jeff Renk on (617) 937-1426 at Analog Devices Inc.
