There are more and more hobbyists taking advantage of surface mount technology these days. With affordable tools like hot air and hotplate reflow ovens, electronics enthusiasts are shrinking their projects down to new levels of portability. Unfortunately, It's not always easy to get your hands on small amounts of SMD parts so here's a part that every project could use more of:

That's right, each pack includes 10 tiny SOT-23-5 3.3V LDO voltage regulators in cut-tape packaging. These are great for small, relatively low power applications, they appear on several of SparkFun's boards.
