Package and mounting
The SN74AHCT1G04DBVR: The datasheet quotes 9ns max propagation delay at 5V with a 50pF load. The 8mA output drive (both source and sink) is standard for this family.
Active production — no LTB risk
The SN74AHCT1G04DBVR is listed as Active with ROHS3 compliance. That means no last-time-buy notice, no end-of-life clock ticking. For a BOM freeze or a long-life industrial controller, this is the kind of part you can qualify in without worrying about a forced respin next year.
Package and mounting — SOT-23-5
The part ships in a SOT-23-5 package. Surface-mount only — no through-hole variant exists. The 5-pin footprint is compact enough for dense boards but still inspectable under a microscope. The Tape & Reel or Cut Tape options cover both prototype and production volumes.
