Package and handling note
For a military-grade DIP or flatpack (the 54LS173FMQB suffix suggests a ceramic or hermetic package variant), Bulk delivery is standard: the parts arrive in anti-static tubes or waffle trays, suitable for hand-insertion, rework stations, or low-volume prototype runs. If your line runs automated assembly, confirm the package body style and lead form before ordering — Bulk can be hand-placed or re-taped on request.
