	            	            According to the datasheet, this part was released by Osram in October 2007.
Their website now lists it as discontinued and they dont seem to have a suitable replacement. Actually, I couldnt find an equivilant from any company when I did a very brief search.

I guess this part gave an on/off value, and is now being replaced with parts that give a variable indication of angle, as used in iPhones etc.

	            	            digikey says no stock, and:

"Limited quantity available, not recommended for new design"!

so is it too new or too old?	            ]]></description>
