Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the SN7406NG4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Logic type (Inverter)
• Circuit count (6 channels)
• Input configuration (1 input per channel)
• Output architecture (Open Collector)
• Supply voltage range (4.75V ~ 5.25V)
• Output current capability (40mA low)
• Input logic thresholds (0.8V low, 2V high)
• Propagation delay (23ns @ 5V, 15pF)
• Operating temperature range (0°C ~ 70°C)
• Package type (14-DIP through-hole)

All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across these parameters, ensuring direct functional replacement without circuit redesign.
