Difference between TL074 and TL074CN

[Nathan2005]

Hi all, I'm working on finding the parts for my first pedal, PedalPCB's Park and Ride, https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/parkandride/. It calls for a TL074, but the place that I was looking for the other parts doesn't have it, but they have the TL074CN, the size looks similar, but I don't know what the difference is. Will it work instead of the TL074? Thanks for any help

CN is just the carrier type and operating temperature range suffix.  A TL074CN is a TL074.  Go ahead and use it.

And, welcome to the forum!

TLO7x?? datasheet:
https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/slos080n/slos080n.pdf?ts=1596072708329

Page 1.
TL074xN PDIP (14) 19.3 mm × 6.35 mm
TL074xNS SO (14) 10.30 mm × 5.30 mm
TL07xxPW TSSOP (8p) 4.40 mm x 3.00 mm
TL074xPW TSSOP (14) 5.00 mm × 4.40 mm
"SO" and TSSOP" are too small for my eyes and fingers. I like DIP. This means "N".

Page 36 onward. >6 pages of variants. >2 pages of "TLO74???" variants.
In DIY we are not real interested in Pb-free, NiPdAu, or operation in boiling water. And some of those mil/aero performance
options add big cost. "C" is temperature 0-70C, which is the cheapest temp-spec (Commercial), yet far more than we need. So yes, in TI's markings, "CN" is good.

Welcome to the forum..

Generally the suffixes on ICs don't really mean that much to us builders... but they also sometimes do..
