Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SN74F04N from Texas Instruments qualifies as a direct substitute for the 74F04PC based on the following matching parameters:

• Logic Type: Both are 6-channel inverters with 1 input per channel
• Voltage Supply Range: Identical at 4.5V ~ 5.5V
• Output Current Specifications: Both support 1mA high and 20mA low output current
• Input Logic Levels: Matching thresholds at 0.8V (low) and 2V (high)
• Propagation Delay: Identical maximum delay of 5ns @ 5V with 50pF load
• Operating Temperature Range: Both rated 0°C ~ 70°C
• Package Form Factor: Both use 14-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) through-hole mounting
• Base Product Number: Both belong to the 74F04 series

The SN74F04N is currently active in production, providing long-term availability compared to the obsolete 74F04PC.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SN74F04N is the appropriate substitute for the 74F04PC. Both components meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the 74F04PC is obsolete while the SN74F04N remains in active production. The SN74F04N carries RoHS3 compliance, providing enhanced environmental regulatory alignment. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status. For new designs or system updates requiring the 74F04 inverter function, the SN74F04N ensures long-term availability and supply chain stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SN74F04N directly replace the 74F04PC in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications including supply voltage, output current, input logic levels, and propagation delay. The 14-DIP package form factor and through-hole mounting are identical, enabling direct pin-compatible substitution.

Q: Why is the 74F04PC listed as obsolete?

A: The 74F04PC has reached end-of-life status with onsemi. The SN74F04N from Texas Instruments provides equivalent functionality with active production status and ongoing availability.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status. The SN74F04N includes RoHS3 compliance certification, while the 74F04PC does not specify this compliance. Both have MSL ratings suitable for standard handling and storage.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution in the 74F04 series?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: logic type (inverter), circuit count (6 channels), input count (1 per channel), supply voltage range (4.5V ~ 5.5V), output current ratings (1mA/20mA), input logic thresholds (0.8V/2V), propagation delay (5ns @ 5V, 50pF), operating temperature range (0°C ~ 70°C), and package form factor (14-DIP).

Q: Is the through-hole 14-DIP package still widely used?

A: Yes. The 14-DIP package remains standard for through-hole applications. The SN74F04N is actively manufactured in this package, ensuring continued availability for legacy system maintenance and through-hole design requirements.
