NE555P

Texas Instruments

Package PDIP-8 · Lifecycle: Active

Part overview

NE555P is a Texas Instruments NE555 precision timer in PDIP-8, tube packaging — 4.5 V to 16 V supply, timing from microseconds to hours set by two resistors and a capacitor, 200 mA output that drives relays, buzzers and LEDs directly, TTL-compatible, monostable and astable operation. The P suffix is the selection point: PDIP-8 through-hole for breadboard, teaching and legacy through-hole assembly — the same 555 ships in SOIC and other SMD packages under different suffixes, so match the full NE555P code to your board. Selection advice: the 200 mA direct-drive output is why the 555 survives in an MCU world — no transistor stage needed for small loads. For battery-powered timing, note the milliamp supply current of the bipolar 555; the CMOS LMC555/TLC555 variants cut that by orders of magnitude. As a jellybean part, require lot traceability against remarked stock. Evidence: TI NE555 product page confirms PDIP-8, 4.5–16 V supply and 200 mA output drive. Match the full NE555P code. State quantity, packing and date-code requirements in your RFQ; we reconfirm the offered lot before quotation and reply within 24 hours.

ORDER-CODE COMPARISON

Same series, different order codes.

NE555 is available in the following manufacturer order codes. They share the same NE555 design; the table highlights package, packing and ordering differences. Quote the exact code your BOM needs.

SELECTION GUIDANCE

NE555P selection guidance

NE555P is a NE555 from Texas Instruments, orderable in the PDIP-8 package. The ordering code fixes the exact configuration you receive — package, grade and packing — so procurement starts with matching this code character-for-character against your BOM, not just the base series name.

Within the same series, also consider: NE555DR — package SOIC-8 · NE555PWR — package TSSOP-8; packing LARGE T&R; Package/pins: TSSOP (PW), 8 pins; NE555DR is SOIC (D), 8 pins; do not assume direct replacement — verify PCB pads, thermal and pinout; factory packing is LARGE T&R, 2,000 per pack; NE555DR is LARGE T&R, 2,500 per pack.. These variants share the core design; pick the code whose package and packing match your assembly process and reel requirements. If your BOM lists one of these instead of NE555P, do not substitute without checking the exact ordering code — even one suffix character can change the device you receive.

When you request a quote, include the full ordering code, the target packing format (reel, tube, tray or cut tape), your quantity and any date-code or lot requirements. We reconfirm manufacturer, suffix, package, date code and traceability against the actual offered lot before any commercial quote is issued, and every RFQ gets a reply within 24 hours.

COMMON QUESTIONS

NE555P FAQ

What is the difference between NE555P and NE555DR, NE555PWR?

These are order-code variants of the same Texas Instruments series. They share the core design; the ordering code selects the exact configuration — NE555DR (SOIC-8); NE555PWR: Package/pins: TSSOP (PW), 8 pins; NE555DR is SOIC (D), 8 pins; do not assume direct replacement — verify PCB pads, thermal and pinout; factory packing is LARGE T&R, 2,000 per pack; NE555DR is LARGE T&R, 2,500 per pack.. NE555P itself is the PDIP-8 configuration. A code that differs by even one character may be a different device, so always quote the complete code exactly as it appears on your BOM.

What is the difference between package and packing for NE555P?

The package (PDIP-8) is the physical form of the device itself. Packing describes how the devices are delivered — reel, tube, tray or cut tape. The same ordering code can ship in different packing formats depending on the lot, so confirm the required packing format when you submit your RFQ.

Can you provide traceability documents for NE555P?

Traceability evidence — lot and date-code information, labels and photos — is confirmed per lot at quotation time, because it depends on the actual lot offered. Tell us which documents your receiving inspection requires when you submit the RFQ, and we will confirm what can be provided for the offered lot.

How do I request a quotation for NE555P?

Add NE555P to your RFQ with the complete ordering code, the manufacturer (Texas Instruments), your quantity, the target packing format and any date-code requirements. We reply to every RFQ within 24 hours.
