The 74S158PC is a TTL multiplexer from Fairchild Semiconductor that selects one of two data lines per function, with four independent multiplexer functions on a single chip. It is a through-hole device, typically in a DIP package, designed for legacy TTL logic systems where board-level signal routing or data selection is needed.
The 74S158PC is listed as RoHS non-compliant. This is a sourcing constraint for any new build requiring RoHS conformance, particularly for EU-market products or assemblies that must pass restricted-substance testing. For legacy repair, retrofit, or military/aerospace applications where RoHS exemption applies, this part remains a valid choice. Verify your project's compliance requirements before committing the BOM line.
Lifecycle and supply posture
Because it is a legacy TTL part with RoHS non-compliance, availability may be tighter than for modern lead-free equivalents.
