What do Integrated Circuits ICs cost in Pakistan?

Integrated Circuits ICs at College Road Electronics start at Rs. 15 for the 555 Timer IC NE555 (DIP), and most 74xx logic gate ICs are Rs. 40. Prices were checked in September 2026.

  • 555 Timer IC NE555 (DIP): Rs. 15
  • 7400, 7402, 7404, 7408, 7432 and 7486 gate ICs: Rs. 40 each
  • 7447 BCD to 7-Segment Decoder/Driver IC (DIP): Rs. 60

All of these are through-hole DIP parts, so they fit a breadboard or a soldered PCB. Delivery is nationwide across Pakistan at a flat rate of Rs. 350, and students get parts and guidance for school, college and university projects.

How do I choose the right IC for my circuit?

Match the IC to the job it has to do, not to the price. The three common jobs in student projects are timing, logic and display driving.

  1. Timing and pulses: use the NE555 in monostable, astable or bistable mode. It runs from 4.5 V to 15 V and can drive LEDs, relays or small speakers directly.
  2. Logic decisions: pick the gate you need. 7400 Quad 2-Input NAND Gate IC (DIP) and 7402 Quad 2-Input NOR Gate IC (DIP) are universal gates, so one chip can build AND, OR, NOT and more. For a single function, use 7408 Quad 2-Input AND Gate IC (DIP), 7432 Quad 2-Input OR Gate IC (DIP), 7404 Hex Inverter NOT Gate IC (DIP) or 7486 Quad 2-Input XOR Gate IC (DIP).
  3. Showing numbers: the 7447 BCD to 7-Segment Decoder/Driver IC (DIP) turns a 4-bit BCD input into the seven segment signals for digits 0 to 9 on common-anode displays.

Check the supply voltage before you wire anything. The 74xx logic ICs run from 4.75 V to 5.25 V, while the NE555 accepts 4.5 V to 15 V. Keep the logic family consistent in one circuit so the levels match.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price of a 555 timer IC in Pakistan?

The 555 Timer IC NE555 (DIP) is Rs. 15 at College Road Electronics, checked in September 2026. It comes in an 8-pin DIP package, works in monostable, astable and bistable modes, and accepts a supply from 4.5 V to 15 V. It is the cheapest way to add timing or oscillation to a project.

Are these ICs original or copies?

College Road Electronics stocks genuine ICs sourced for student, hobby and engineering work. The 74xx logic parts follow standard TTL pinouts and voltage levels, and the NE555 follows the classic 8-pin layout. That means datasheets, textbook circuits and online tutorials all apply directly to the chips you receive.

Do I need any other parts to use an IC?

Yes, an IC alone rarely does much. For the NE555 you need resistors and capacitors to set the timing. For the 7447 you need a common-anode 7-segment display and current-limiting resistors. For logic gates you need a stable 5 V supply and, in most student builds, a breadboard and jumper wires.

How do I know which IC package I am buying?

Every IC listed here is a through-hole DIP part, which is the package used on breadboards and in hand-soldered PCBs. The pin count is in the product name, such as DIP-14 for the 74xx gate ICs, DIP-16 for the 7447 decoder and 8-pin DIP for the NE555. Check the pin count against your circuit before ordering.
