Quad op-amp in a hermetic CDIP — what you're getting
The Texas Instruments LM124AJ/PB is a quad general-purpose operational amplifier from the LinCMOS™ series, packaged in a 14-CDIP (0.300", 7.62 mm) ceramic dual-in-line with through-hole mounting. Four independent amplifiers in one package, each with a 1 MHz gain-bandwidth product and 40 mA output current capability. Supply range spans 3 V to 32 V, drawing 1.5 mA total quiescent current. Input offset voltage is 2 mV typical, input bias current 45 nA. The -55 °C to 125 °C junction temperature range puts this squarely in the military / high-reliability tier — avionics, satellite, downhole instrumentation, or any sealed-environment board where a plastic SOIC won't cut it. The ceramic DIP handles thermal cycling and moisture resistance that plastic packages can't match.
Supply voltage range — why it simplifies the BOM
Supply span is 3 V to 32 V.
14-CDIP package — rework and handling notes
The 14-CDIP (0.300" body width, 7.62 mm row spacing) is a through-hole ceramic package.
Active lifecycle — no LTB risk for new designs
Product status is Active per the manufacturer. No last-time-buy notice, no end-of-life flag. This part can be specified into new production builds with confidence. ROHS3 compliant — no lead-free conversion concern for legacy Pb-free assembly lines.
