What this op-amp is — and why the ceramic package matters
The PM208Z: The supplier device package is 8-CERDIP. This is not a plastic DIP part — the ceramic body and lead frame are built for environments where outgassing, moisture absorption, or high-temperature exposure rule out epoxy packages. Typical applications include industrial control loops, test equipment, and military/aerospace subsystems where a sealed package is a requirement, not an option.
Supply range and power — 6 V to 40 V, 300 µA quiescent
The PM208Z operates from a supply span of 6 V minimum to 40 V maximum. Quiescent current is 300 µA.
Temperature range: industrial, not full military
Rated operating temperature is -25°C to 85°C.
Lifecycle and compliance — active, but RoHS non-compliant
The RoHS compliance status is listed as non-compliant. This means the device almost certainly uses lead-bearing solder on the termination finish (typical for ceramic DIPs with tin/lead plating). For designs that must meet EU RoHS or equivalent regulations, this part is a blocker unless an exemption applies (e.g., military/aerospace, medical implant). For non-RoHS markets or exempt applications, it is a straightforward active line item.
