The 74ACT11373DBLE is an 8-bit bus driver from the ACT logic family, configured as a transparent latch that passes data from D inputs to Q outputs while the latch-enable (LE) is high.
Packaging and handling — bulk form factor
That means it is handled as loose devices for manual insertion or low-volume assembly; if your line runs automated pick-and-place, you will need to transfer to a feeder-compatible carrier or order a reeled variant if one exists. The laser etch on the body is the primary authenticity marker — the date-code font and marking consistency should match TI's plant standard for the week code shown.
RoHS status — lead-bearing part
If your BOM requires RoHS compliance, this part needs an explicit exemption or a waiver for legacy/repair applications. It is common in military, aerospace, and industrial spares where leaded solder is still permitted or where the assembly process is not RoHS-restricted.
The product status is Active, so this is not an obsolete or NRND part. For new designs, it is a valid choice if the design can tolerate the RoHS restriction. For repair or legacy BOMs, it is a stable line item with no imminent EOL risk.
