The military electric component and business electric component are always considered in the two different markets. Actually, the similarities of them are increasing nowadays. The magnates in the military field try to outsource some of the business to reduce their cost. They should not be limited to the vertical original integrated mode. Unlike the business field, the military market is limited by many government rules, such as the ITAR and QPL. Many military contractors are trying to develop the small components fast as well as the commercial customers.

The demand for the electric components becomes greater, because the weapons are becoming more and more intelligent. The design cycle is also become shorter. The goal of the intelligent weapon is to use less manpower and material to accomplish the task accurately, therefore, the stability of the device become more important than other elements. The intelligent electric devices in the military field also means more function, lighter weight and more efficiency, such as the night vision system, satellite phone, GPS and ruggedized laptop computer. The requirement of stability means the resistance should be made under the rigorously controlled surroundings. The tests are needed to ensure the components meet the standard of military usage. The extreme number range is also needed.

The military device has its own requirement, namely, the terminal must have at least three percent of lead. Most of the lead terminals are replaced by the lead-free one, but the customers who want to buy the traditional one will be surprise to find out the lead contained products is still provided by some manufacturers. The outer-space application customers need the high-class components which are utilized for the satellites. The utilization result indicated that the service life of the component is long.

To a certain extent, the similarities between the business industry and military industry are becoming more. More and more components are applied for the drilling equipment, oceanic exploration device and medical devices. The designer will find out that the military products are reliable. The related integrated circuit is EPR1136.
