CA6741T3

Overview

The CA6741T3 is a general-purpose operational amplifier manufactured by Harris Corporation. It features a single circuit configuration housed in an 8-lead TO-99 metal can package. The device exhibits an input bias current of 80 nA, suitable for standard linear applications requiring reliable amplification within a compact hermetic enclosure.

Feature Summary

• Single-channel general-purpose operational amplifier design
• Hermetic 8-lead TO-99 metal can packaging
• Standard bipolar input stage characteristics

Applications

• General signal conditioning circuits
• Industrial sensor interfaces
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Harris Corporation, noting its subsequent merger into L3Harris Technologies. Confirm the specific TO-99-8 metal can package style and pinout compatibility with existing board layouts. Ensure the part status is active if new production sourcing is required, or validate authenticity for surplus components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single op-amp solution in a hermetic metal package is required. The 80 nA input bias current indicates suitability for moderate impedance sources. Consider the TO-99 form factor for environments demanding radiation hardness or superior thermal stability compared to plastic packages.

Part Context

This device belongs to the Harris Corporation linear amplifier portfolio, specifically categorized under instrumentation and buffer amplifiers. Harris Corporation specialized in electronic warfare and surveillance solutions before merging with L3 Technologies. The CA6741 series represents standard general-purpose operational amplifiers designed for robust performance.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other single-channel op-amps in TO-99-8 packages from manufacturers such as Analog Devices or Texas Instruments. Verify electrical parameter equivalence, particularly input bias current and gain bandwidth, before substituting.
