Product details

Six inverters in a 14-SOIC — what the 74LS04DR brings to the board

The SN74LS04DR is a hex inverter from TI's 74LS family, packing six independent NOT gates into a 14-SOIC package. Each gate takes a single input and delivers a complementary output, making it the standard choice for signal inversion, oscillator buffers, and logic-level translation in 5 V systems. The 74LS series runs on a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply and is rated for 0°C to 70°C commercial environments — think bench instruments, office peripherals, and industrial control panels that don't see extreme temperatures.

Output drive and timing — the numbers that matter for your BOM

Each output can source 400 µA and sink 8 mA. The 15 ns propagation delay at 5 V with a 15 pF load is typical for the 74LS family.

Lifecycle and compliance — still active, no LTB watch needed

The SN74LS04DR carries an Active lifecycle status and is ROHS3 compliant. No end-of-life notice is on record.

Sourcing — quoted to order through independent distribution

For dual-sourcing or a drop-in with wider temperature range, the SN74HCS04PWR (74HCS series, -40°C to 125°C) is a functional alternative in the same 14-SOIC footprint, though it uses a different logic family and supply range.

Frequently asked questions

What are the specifications of SN74LS04DR?

The SN74LS04DR is a hex inverter with six independent NOT gates, each with one input. It operates from 4.75 V to 5.25 V, has a propagation delay of 15 ns at 5 V with a 15 pF load, and can source 400 µA or sink 8 mA per output. It comes in a 14-SOIC package and is rated for 0°C to 70°C commercial temperature range.

What is the difference between SN74LS04DR and SN74HC04?

The SN74LS04DR is a 74LS-series inverter with a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply and 15 ns propagation delay. The 74HC04 (e.g., SN74HCU04PWT) runs from 2 V to 6 V, has a typical propagation delay of 14 ns at 6 V, and operates over -40°C to 85°C. The HC family also has higher input impedance and lower power consumption, but the logic thresholds differ — verify compatibility before swapping.
