CMOS - CD4047, Low-Power Monostable/Astable Multivibrator, 14-Pin DIP
CD4047B consists of a gatable astable multivibrator with logic techniques incorporated to permit positive or negative edge-triggered monostable multivibrator action with retriggering and external counting options. Inputs include +TRIGGER, -TRIGGER, ASTABLE, ASTABLE\, RETRIGGER, and EXTERNAL RESET. Buffered outputs are Q\, Q and OSCILLATOR. In all modes of operation, and external capacitor must be connected between C-Timing and RC-Common terminal, and an external resistor must be connected between the R-Timing and RC-Common terminals. Astable operation is enabled by a high level on the STABLE input or a low level on the ASTABLE\ input, or both. The period of the square wave at the Q and Q\ Outputs in this mode off operation is a function of the external components employed. "True" input pulses on the ASTABLE input or "Complement" pulses on the ASTABLE\ input allow the circuit to be used as a gatable multivibrator.

Blind Rivet - Dome Head, Steel, ⅛ in. diameter
Steel shank / steel mandrel blind rivets with a ⅛” diameter. Blind rivets, also referred to as pop rivets, can be used to join or fasten two components without requiring access to the backside of the panel or chassis. The installation is quick and results in a joint that can be stronger and tighter than a screw. These rivets are useful for securing tube sockets or other hardware such as battery holders on stompboxes.
