Product Overview

Distributed under Jim-pak part number CD4001, this package contains an original Motorola MC4001A quad 2-input NOR gate. Built on standard 4000-series CMOS logic in a 14-pin dual in-line package (PDIP-14), it operates across a wide 3V to 15V supply range. Ideal for vintage synthesizer repairs, period-accurate computer restorations, or classic hobby electronics projects requiring authentic mid-1970s silicon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the card say Jim-pak while the chip is marked Motorola?

Jim-pak was an electronic component distributor that packaged original manufacturer semiconductors into retail blister cards for hobbyists, schools, and repair shops. The enclosed integrated circuit was manufactured by Motorola.

What does the 7519 date code indicate?

The four-digit code signifies production during the 19th week of 1975 at a Motorola semiconductor manufacturing facility.

Why buy this single packaged unit instead of hunting a bulk lot?

You receive the exact unopened vintage Jim-pak card shown in the photos, with verified markings and intact pins, without buying excess components you do not need. Ships for an $8 flat rate, free on orders over $28, departing our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.

Four NOR gates, fifteen volts of headroom, and forty-nine years of shelf patience ready to plug right into the breadboard.
