Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 74ACTQ04SJ is determined by the following criteria:

  • Logic Function: All substitute parts must be 6-channel inverters with single input configuration
  • Electrical Specifications: Supply voltage range (4.5V ~ 5.5V), output current (24mA), and input logic levels must match or exceed the main part specifications
  • Package Compatibility: Surface mount packages in 14-pin SOIC or SOP configurations are acceptable
  • Operating Temperature Range: Substitutes must support at minimum -40°C to 85°C operation

The substitute parts listed below meet these criteria across multiple manufacturers, providing design flexibility while maintaining functional and electrical equivalence.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Status, Full Compliance)

SN74ACT04DR and SN74ACT04NSR from Texas Instruments are the preferred substitutes. Both parts are currently active in production, ROHS3 compliant, and maintain identical electrical specifications to the 74ACTQ04SJ. SN74ACT04NSR offers the same 14-SOIC (0.209", 5.30mm Width) package as the original part, ensuring direct mechanical compatibility. SN74ACT04DR uses a narrower 14-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) package, requiring PCB layout verification for pin-to-pin spacing.

Secondary Substitute (Active Status, Narrower Package)

MC74ACT04DR2G from onsemi is an active production part with ROHS3 compliance. This part features a 4 µA maximum quiescent current compared to the 2 µA specification of the main part, and uses the narrower 14-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) package. PCB layout compatibility must be confirmed before selection.

Obsolete Alternatives (Not Recommended for New Designs)

CD74ACT04M96 from Harris Corporation is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. SN74ACT04D from Texas Instruments is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. These parts should not be selected for new designs or long-term production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use SN74ACT04DR as a direct replacement for 74ACTQ04SJ?

A: SN74ACT04DR is electrically equivalent and functionally compatible. However, it uses a narrower 14-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) package compared to the original 14-SOIC (0.209", 5.30mm Width). PCB layout verification is required to confirm pin spacing compatibility with existing footprints.

Q: What is the difference between SN74ACT04NSR and SN74ACT04DR?

A: Both parts are electrically identical and from the same manufacturer. The primary difference is packaging: SN74ACT04NSR uses the wider 14-SOIC (0.209", 5.30mm Width) package matching the original part, while SN74ACT04DR uses the narrower 14-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) package. SN74ACT04NSR is supplied in Tape & Reel format; SN74ACT04DR is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format.

Q: Why is MC74ACT04DR2G listed as a substitute if it has higher quiescent current?

A: MC74ACT04DR2G maintains all critical electrical specifications including supply voltage range, output current, input logic levels, and propagation delay. The 4 µA quiescent current specification is within acceptable tolerance for most applications and does not affect functional compatibility. This part is currently in active production with ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Can I use CD74ACT04M96 in a new design?

A: CD74ACT04M96 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. It should not be selected for new designs or applications requiring long-term component availability and regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the significance of the propagation delay differences shown in the comparison table?

A: All substitute parts maintain propagation delays within 7.5ns to 9.3ns at 5V with 50pF load. These variations are within typical design margins for standard logic applications. The 74ACTQ04SJ specification of 7.5ns is the fastest; however, the slightly longer delays of substitute parts do not affect functional compatibility in most applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Four of the five substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant: MC74ACT04DR2G, SN74ACT04D, SN74ACT04DR, and SN74ACT04NSR. CD74ACT04M96 is RoHS non-compliant and should not be used in applications requiring regulatory compliance.
