Its 0.12 V/µs slew rate limits it to low-frequency signal conditioning — think DC measurement, transducer amplification, or audio below a few kilohertz — not fast ADC drivers or video buffers.
36 V single supply — not a split-rail part
The supply span is listed at 36 V for both minimum and maximum, which means this is a single-supply device — you run it off a single 36 V rail, not ±18 V. That simplifies the power design but rules out applications that need a bipolar supply for ground-referenced signals. The differential output type suggests it's intended for driving balanced lines or feeding a differential ADC input.
TO-99-8 metal can — hermetic, but a rework challenge
The TO-99-8 metal can is a hermetic package — good for humid or mildly corrosive environments, but it's a through-hole part that needs a socket or a soldered hole. No exposed pad, so thermal management is through the can itself. Rework means desoldering the leads one by one — a hot-air station with a nozzle that fits the can diameter works, but you risk lifting a pad if the board isn't preheated.
