The CD74HC32E is a 74HC-series CMOS quad 2-input OR gate in a 14-pin DIP package. It takes a 2V to 6V supply, draws 2 µA quiescent, and can source or sink 5.2 mA per output. Four independent gates in one DIP keep the board layout tight — one package handles a four-bit enable mask or a set of alarm-combination logic without a second IC.
At 6V and 50 pF load the worst-case propagation delay is 15 ns.
No last-time-buy, no NRND flag — this part is still a standard catalog item. The 74HC series has broad second-sourcing from TI, Nexperia, and others, so supply resilience is better than for a niche logic family.
