The 74LS386PC is a Texas Instruments quad 2-input XOR gate in the 74LS TTL logic family, housed in a 14-lead PDIP (plastic dual in-line package). Supplied in bulk tube format — typical for through-hole assembly lines that feed DIP packages into wave-solder or selective-solder processes.
Lifecycle and compliance
RoHS non-compliant — the lead (Pb) solder finish is standard for this legacy TTL series. For lead-free assembly lines, confirm the board-level reflow profile or consider a pin-compatible RoHS variant from the same family.
