Quad AND gate in a 14-DIP — what you get
The CD74HC08E is a quad 2-input AND gate from the 74HC family, packaged in a 14-pin DIP (0.300" body width) for through-hole assembly. Four independent gates, each with two inputs, share a common 2 V to 6 V supply rail. Quiescent current sits at 2 µA max, and the output can source or sink 5.2 mA per channel — enough to drive a standard TTL load or a small LED indicator without a buffer.
Temperature range — the full mil-spec sweep
Rated -55°C to 125°C operating, this gate covers the full military temperature grade.
15 ns propagation delay — timing margin for the bus
Max propagation delay is 15 ns at 6 V supply with a 50 pF load.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
The CD74HC08E carries an Active lifecycle status with RoHS3 compliance. No last-time-buy clock is ticking — this part is still a standard catalog item from Texas Instruments, not a surplus-only chase. For a BOM line that needs a through-hole AND gate in a 14-DIP, this is a first-tier choice with predictable supply.
