Four independent OR gates share a common 4.5V to 5.5V supply rail, each capable of sourcing or sinking 24 mA at the output. Propagation delay sits at 9 ns typical into a 50 pF load at 5V, fast enough for most through-hole glue logic but not a candidate for high-speed synchronous buses. Quiescent current is a mere 2 µA, so it won't load down a battery-backed rail or a lightly loaded power supply. The 14-pin DIP package (0.300\" body) is breadboard-friendly and hand-solderable — a natural fit for prototyping, rework, or low-volume production where a socket makes field swaps easy. The industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) covers factory-floor controllers, outdoor telecom enclosures, and HVAC panels; it is not rated for under-hood automotive but is fine for most industrial and commercial environments. ## Lifecycle and compliance The SN74ACT32N is listed as Active in production — no end-of-life notice, no last-time-buy pressure. It is RoHS3 compliant, so it meets the current EU restriction directive without exemption issues. The 74ACT series is a mature logic family; TI continues to support it for industrial and legacy designs that need a through-hole OR gate.","metaTitle":"SN74ACT32N TI 74ACT Quad 2-Input OR Gate, 14-DIP, 9ns","metaDescription":"SN74ACT32N Texas Instruments quad 2-input OR gate in 14-pin DIP. 4.5V–5.5V supply, 2 µA quiescent, 9ns prop delay at 5V.

The ACT version has tighter propagation delay (9 ns vs roughly 15 ns for HC at 5V) and can be driven directly by TTL outputs without a pull-up. Pinout is identical, so they are socket-compatible, but the input thresholds differ."},{"question":"What is the power consumption of SN74ACT32N?","answer":"Quiescent supply current is 2 µA maximum. Dynamic power scales with frequency and load; at a few MHz into a light load the total draw stays well under 10 mA."},{"question":"What is the propagation delay of SN74ACT32N?","answer":"Maximum propagation delay is 9 ns at 5V supply with a 50 pF load.
