Quad buffer with 3-state — 5 V logic workhorse
The 3-state control lets you float the outputs for shared data lines or bidirectional buses without external tristate buffers.
Industrial temperature — factory-floor safe
No extended or automotive temperature grade here — if you need -40°C to 125°C, look at the 74LVC or 74AHCT families with AEC-Q100 qualification.
14-SOIC package — common footprint, easy rework
Housed in a 14-SOIC (3.90 mm width) package, the SN74HCT125DR uses a standard, widely stocked footprint. MSL 1 (no moisture sensitivity) means no bake before reflow, even after the bag has been open. Store the reels dry, but you have a generous floor-life window.
Active lifecycle — no LTB worry
No end-of-life notice on the horizon.
