Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SN74S04NG4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Logic type and function (6-channel inverter, 1 input per channel)
• Electrical specifications (supply voltage 4.75V ~ 5.25V, output current 1mA/20mA, input logic levels, propagation delay)
• Physical package (14-DIP through-hole mounting)
• Compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99)

The SN74S04N meets all these criteria and is classified as the manufacturer-recommended substitute. Both parts share identical electrical characteristics and package specifications, with the primary distinction being product status and packaging format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SN74S04N is the direct substitute for the SN74S04NG4. Both components are manufactured by Texas Instruments and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The SN74S04N carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts comply with ROHS3 requirements and REACH regulations, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards. The primary advantage of selecting the SN74S04N is its active status and higher inventory availability, eliminating obsolescence risk associated with the discontinued SN74S04NG4.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SN74S04N directly replace the SN74S04NG4 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The SN74S04N operates within the same voltage range (4.75V ~ 5.25V), delivers identical output current specifications (1mA/20mA), and maintains the same propagation delay (5ns @ 5V, 50pF). Both use the 14-DIP through-hole package with identical pinout and footprint.

Q: What is the difference between SN74S04NG4 and SN74S04N?

A: The SN74S04NG4 is discontinued, while the SN74S04N is active. The SN74S04N is supplied in tube packaging, whereas the SN74S04NG4 used a different packaging format. All electrical and functional specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classification (8542.39.0001).

Q: What is the 14-DIP package specification?

A: The 14-DIP package is a through-hole dual inline package measuring 0.300 inches (7.62mm) in width. This standard package format ensures compatibility with existing PCB designs and breadboard layouts.

Q: Why is the SN74S04NG4 discontinued?

A: Product discontinuation is determined by manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The SN74S04N remains the active equivalent and is the recommended replacement for new designs and ongoing procurement.
