What the SN74H102N is and where it fits
The Texas Instruments SN74H102N is a J-K flip-flop from the 74H family, a logic building block used in counters, shift registers, and state-machine storage elements. It is a single-gate device in a DIP package, supplied in Bulk (tubes or loose units), and is intended for through-hole PCB assembly in industrial control, instrumentation, and legacy equipment maintenance. The part is rated for the standard 74H supply range and logic levels, making it a drop-in replacement for original-equipment boards that were designed around this logic family.
Package and handling
Supplied in Bulk packaging — typically tubes or loose units — not tape-and-reel. This matters for volume procurement: if your pick-and-place line expects reels, you will need to plan for manual insertion or a tube-fed feeder. The through-hole DIP footprint is standard, and the part can be wave-soldered or hand-soldered. No special moisture-sensitivity handling is required for this package type.
