PM208AZ — general-purpose op-amp in a hermetic ceramic DIP
The PM208AZ is a single-channel general-purpose operational amplifier in a hermetic 8-CERDIP package. It draws 300 µA supply current and operates from a 6 V to 40 V supply span, covering common industrial analog rails. The -25°C to 85°C temperature range suits indoor control cabinets, test equipment, and instrumentation front-ends where board-level reliability is needed but full military temp is not required.
Hermetic package — fit for sealed or harsh environments
The 8-CERDIP (ceramic dual-in-line) package is a through-hole part with a 0.300" body width. Ceramic construction resists moisture and thermal cycling better than plastic DIP, making this a candidate for conformal-coated boards, high-humidity enclosures, or applications where the assembly must survive repeated temperature swings. The through-hole mounting keeps the part serviceable in field repairs — no reflow profile needed, just a soldering iron and a clean pad.
6 V to 40 V supply — wide-rail compatibility
The supply span from 6 V to 40 V covers common industrial rails. The 300 µA quiescent current suits loop-powered transmitters.
Active lifecycle — no near-term LTB risk
The PM208AZ carries an Active lifecycle status. That means the manufacturer continues to support the part — no last-time-buy window, no short-dated obsolescence notice to manage. For a BOM freeze or a long-production-run contract, this removes the supply-chain uncertainty that comes with NRND or EOL parts. The RoHS non-compliant flag is a known constraint for designs requiring lead-free soldering; verify your assembly's exemption or accept the tin-lead finish as-is.
