Logic gate in a through-hole DIP
The DM7401N is a TTL NAND gate from Texas Instruments, supplied in a PDIP14 package (Bulk). One key fit note: the DM7401N is RoHS non-compliant. If your assembly line is RoHS-only (lead-free solder, no exemption), this part will need a waiver or a qualified alternate. For legacy or military-contract builds that still allow tin-lead, it is a straightforward drop-in.
Sourcing and lifecycle posture
Because it is a mature TTL logic gate, availability is generally stable, but the RoHS restriction may narrow the distributor pool. We source it per RFQ; confirm your quantity and target lead time at quote.
The DM7401N is a single 2-input NAND gate with open-collector outputs — the classic 7401 function. The PDIP14 footprint is industry-standard; it mates with a 0.300-inch wide DIP socket or can be soldered directly. No special decoupling or thermal management is needed beyond a 0.1 µF bypass cap near the Vcc pin (pin 14).
