Dual op-amp in a hermetic cavity — built for the extended-temperature zone
The 5962-8771402PA is a dual-channel general-purpose operational amplifier from the JAN-series qualification line, packaged in a hermetic 8-CERDIP (8-CDIP 0.300" body) with through-hole leads. This is the part you specify when the board lives in an avionics bay, a satellite transponder, a missile guidance section, or a downhole tool — environments where the ceramic package and the wide temperature rating are the selection gate, not the speed.
1.3 MHz GBP, 0.5 V/µs slew — signal conditioning, not high-speed
The 30 nA input bias current and 3 mV input offset voltage are typical for a general-purpose bipolar stage — adequate for 8- to 10-bit accuracy loops but not for precision weigh-scale or thermocouple front-ends. The 44 V supply span means it can sit directly on a 24 V industrial rail or a 28 V aerospace bus without a separate regulator, saving a converter slot on the BOM.
Hermetic 8-CERDIP — the footprint for sealed, high-reliability boards
The 8-CERDIP (ceramic dual-in-line) package with 0.300" body width and 7.62 mm lead spacing is the standard through-hole footprint for MIL-spec and high-reliability designs. No MSL rating applies to hermetic ceramic packages — they do not absorb moisture, so no bake preconditioning is needed before reflow or hand-solder rework. The through-hole leads suit hand-assembly, rework, and socketed prototyping in evaluation boards and life-test fixtures.
Active status, RoHS non-compliant — plan the BOM flag
The manufacturer lists the 5962-8771402PA as Active, meaning it remains in the current production portfolio with no announced last-time-buy or end-of-life window. This is a standard JAN-qualified line item, so supply continuity through franchised and independent channels is typical for the military/aerospace procurement cycle. The part is RoHS non-compliant — the terminations use tin-lead solder, which is exempt or required for most defence and space applications but will flag in any RoHS-mandated commercial BOM.
