What this part is and where it fits
The 74LS04SC is a hex inverter in a 14-pin SOIC package. It contains six independent inverting gates with TTL inputs and totem-pole outputs.
Bulk packaging — what it means for your line
This part ships in Bulk, not tape-and-reel. That suits hand-assembly, prototyping, or low-volume production where a pick-and-place machine is not involved. For high-volume reflow, you would want the tape-and-reel variant of the same die — verify the suffix before ordering reel quantities. Bulk packaging also simplifies storage: no moisture-sensitive reels to keep dry, just standard ESD-safe bins.
Sourcing and availability
The 74LS04SC is available to order through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time. Because the part is Active, there is no scarcity premium or long lead-time typical of obsolete logic.
