93L16PC — Binary Counter, Active, RoHS Non-Compliant
The 93L16PC is a binary counter from the 93L series, a logic device that counts input pulses and outputs a binary representation of the count. It is a through-hole component, intended for board-level counting, frequency division, and timing applications in industrial control, test equipment, and legacy digital systems. It is RoHS non-compliant, which is a key constraint for designs requiring lead-free assembly — verify your BOM's exemption status or plan for a separate process flow.
Lifecycle and Compliance — What It Means for Your BOM
With an Active product status, the 93L16PC is still being manufactured and has no announced end-of-life. This removes the urgency of a last-time-buy or the need to qualify a replacement for ongoing production. The RoHS non-compliant status means the part contains lead (Pb) above the exemption threshold — typical for legacy logic families. If your assembly line is RoHS-only, you will need a waiver or a separate non-RoHS production run. For maintenance and repair of existing equipment, this is often not an issue.
