RC4136N RC4136 Quad Low Noise 30V Operational Amplifier Op Amp Breadboard-Friendly IC DIP-14 (Pack of 10)

Description

Product Overview

The RC4136N is a high-performance quad operational amplifier designed by Juried Engineering for demanding analog applications. Featuring a low noise floor of 8 nV at 1 kHz, a wide common‑mode input range, and a 30 V supply capability, this device delivers exceptional accuracy and stability across a broad spectrum of signal processing tasks. Its DIP‑14 package is optimized for breadboard and prototype environments, allowing engineers to quickly evaluate circuit designs without the need for complex mounting solutions. The amplifier incorporates continuous short‑circuit protection, ensuring that the device can safely handle fault conditions without damage, while its low quiescent current reduces overall power consumption, making it suitable for battery‑powered and energy‑efficient designs. Compatibility with legacy Raytheon part numbers (RC4136, RM4136, RV4136) provides seamless substitution in existing designs, preserving performance while offering modern manufacturing benefits.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of industrial and scientific applications, the RC4136N excels in precision instrumentation, data acquisition systems, medical devices, and communication equipment. Its low‑noise characteristics make it ideal for sensor front‑ends, audio preamplifiers, and high‑resolution analog‑to‑digital converters. The robust short‑circuit protection and wide voltage range enable reliable operation in harsh environments, such as automotive test rigs, aerospace subsystems, and field‑deployed measurement stations. Engineers and hobbyists alike benefit from the DIP‑14 footprint, which simplifies integration into breadboard prototypes, development kits, and small‑scale production runs. Whether you are designing a high‑gain instrumentation amplifier, a differential signal conditioner, or a multi‑channel filter network, the RC4136N provides the performance and flexibility required for both research and commercial deployment.
