HD74LS14 Renesas Part

[safeeng]

I am an electronics hobbyist working on a number of small electronics builds.
Where is the best source for locating obsolete parts?

I searched for HD74LS14 Renesas part. I found www.express-elect.com in Google but they have an MOQ and I only need 5. The catalogue distributors i know like www.digikey.com and www.farnell.com don't have stock. Any ideas about where to go?

I don't know who the 'HD' prefix belongs to, but it looks like you want a TTL Logic 74LS14.
Where are you located?
SN74LS14 would be a common equivalent (here anyway)
Is it an old-style 14-Pin DIP package, or some surface mount device?

Thank you for your reply. Yea I am looking for the Bipolar 14-Pin DIP. I am located in the US. I just found www.oemsecrets.com on Bing and I have found some new franchised suppliers that have the part, including Arrow in the US So hopefully I should be sorted!

Places like Arrow only sell to OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers).
You can get that device from many places.
If you're buying for a business in large quantities, Arrow will work.
If you only need a few, any electronics parts store near you should carry it.
If you're out in the boonies, mail-order parts stores like Jameco, Digi-Key, Mouser,
or a dozen other places will carry it.
Good luck.
