SN74ACT10PW NAND Gate IC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SN74ACT10PW is a triple 3-input NAND gate logic IC manufactured by Texas Instruments in a 14-TSSOP surface mount package. This component is discontinued at DiGi Electronics but remains available in inventory. The SN74ACT10PW operates within the 4.5V to 5.5V supply voltage range and is designed for general-purpose digital logic applications requiring NAND gate functionality. Due to its discontinued status, identifying functionally equivalent substitute parts is essential for design continuity and procurement planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SN74ACT10PW is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Logic Type: NAND Gate (3 channels, 3 inputs per channel)
• Voltage - Supply: 4.5V ~ 5.5V
• Current - Quiescent (Max): 4 µA
• Current - Output High, Low: 24mA, 24mA
• Input Logic Level - Low: 0.8V
• Input Logic Level - High: 2V
• Max Propagation Delay @ V, Max CL: 9ns @ 5V, 50pF
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Package / Case: 14-TSSOP (0.173", 4.40mm Width)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

The SN74ACT10PWR meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct substitute. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is packaging format: the SN74ACT10PW is supplied in Tube packaging, while the SN74ACT10PWR is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, pinout, and functional characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SN74ACT10PWR is the direct substitute for the SN74ACT10PW. Both parts are manufactured by Texas Instruments and share identical electrical characteristics, logic functionality, and thermal specifications. The SN74ACT10PWR maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability compared to the discontinued SN74ACT10PW.

Both parts comply with ROHS3 standards and carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, indicating equivalent handling and storage requirements. The substitution is valid for all applications where the SN74ACT10PW was originally specified, provided that the packaging format change from Tube to Tape & Reel is compatible with the assembly process and procurement workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SN74ACT10PWR be used as a direct replacement for the SN74ACT10PW?

A: Yes. The SN74ACT10PWR is electrically and functionally identical to the SN74ACT10PW. Both parts feature the same NAND gate logic configuration, supply voltage range, output current ratings, propagation delay, and operating temperature range. The only difference is the packaging format: Tube versus Tape & Reel.

Q: What is the difference between Tube and Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Tube packaging supplies individual components in a plastic tube, typically used for lower-volume orders or manual assembly. Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on a continuous reel of tape, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Both formats contain the same component with identical specifications.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the SN74ACT10PW and SN74ACT10PWR are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL Level 1 - Unlimited). They meet the same regulatory and environmental standards.

Q: Why is the SN74ACT10PW discontinued while the SN74ACT10PWR remains active?

A: Product discontinuation at specific distributors does not indicate end-of-life status at the manufacturer. The SN74ACT10PWR remains in active production by Texas Instruments and is the recommended part for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Q: Will the SN74ACT10PWR work in the same PCB footprint as the SN74ACT10PW?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 14-TSSOP package with identical pinout and physical dimensions (0.173" width, 4.40mm). No PCB layout modifications are required for substitution.
