Motorola SN74LS12N Triple 3-Input NAND Gates (Open-Collector)
Up for sale are genuine, high-quality, new old stock (NOS) Motorola SN74LS12N logic integrated circuits. These Triple 3-Input Positive-NAND Gates feature open-collector outputs and are fabricated using the dependable low-power Schottky barrier diode process.
Because they feature open-collector architectures, these chips are highly sought after for wire-AND configurations, high-voltage output interfacing, driving indicator lamps/LEDs, or specialized bus-structured logic configurations.
Available in tiered bulk pack options of 5, 10, 20, 50, or 100 pieces. Simply choose your preferred lot quantity using the drop-down variations menu above.

Key Features & Broad Compatibility
- Open-Collector Outputs: Allows outputs to be tied together directly to perform wired-AND logic functions, simplifying complex gating networks without extra IC packages.
- Schottky-Clamped Logic: Built with internal Schottky clamping diodes across inputs to suppress malicious transmission-line reflections and ensure sharp, reliable signaling.
- Excellent Legacy Support: Fully pin-compatible, drop-in alternative, and backward-compatible with legacy standard 7412 logic rails, vintage 8-bit/16-bit processing equipment (Amiga, Commodore, custom arcade platforms), and standard 14-pin IC breadboard grids.
Shipping & Packaging Details
- All logic components are carefully packaged inside dedicated anti-static tubes or high-grade ESD shielding bags to completely protect through-hole pins from structural damage or electrostatic discharge.
- Orders are sorted, carefully packaged, and shipped quickly from our domestic warehouse facility.
