NTE Component Washability

Please help to provide the washable info for below MPN:

  1. MPN: NTE74C14, MFG: NTE ELECTRONICS
  2. MPN: NTE74C74, MFG: NTE ELECTRONICS

Hello zh_kuek,

To answer your question, we must consider the business model for NTE electronics. To my knowledge, NTE is not a manufacturer of the components you mentioned. Instead, NTE is a distributor that specializes in cross referencing components. According to their website, they maintain approximately 4700 unique NTE semiconductors parts that serve as substitutions for over 384,373 unique devices.

NTE maintains stock for these 4700 devices using a proprietary selection process. If I were to speculate, a part such as the NTE74C14 could be sourced from several different manufactures. Also, if you will allow me to speculate once again, it is possible that the environmental considerations for NTE’s parts are a variable as this parameter is not specified in the datasheet.

Recommend you contact NTE directly for a definitive answer. They can be reached at technical@nteinc.com or by voice at 973-748-5089.

Best Wishes,
