Through-hole PDIP package suits prototyping, legacy board repairs, and low-volume builds where hand-assembly or socketing is preferred.
For a precision weigh-scale or thermocouple amplifier, you would want lower offset (e.g., 15 µV from the ADA4077-1ARZ-R7), but for general-purpose signal conditioning, motor-current sensing, or set-point comparators, these numbers are adequate and keep the BOM cost down.
For dual-sourcing or a surface-mount alternative, the ADA4077-1ARZ-R7 is a close functional peer: same 3.6 MHz GBW, same 1.2 V/µs slew rate, but with 15 µV offset and 400 pA bias — better DC precision — in an SOIC-8 package. The trade-off is surface-mount only and a narrower 5 V supply typical.
