GSSL OpAmps

[cbarrett92]

Hey guys,

First things first. I have really tried for the last hour and a half to look for the answer to this... Maybe if I'm the one to take the heat for it people searching for the same thing will be able to more easily find this same topic.

Now to the question: I am working on building a GSSL and am confused on the opamps. They are:

NE5532 Dual Opamp DIL-8
NE5534 Single Opamp DIL-8
TL072 Dual BiFET Opamp DIL-8
TL074 Quad BiFET Opamp DIL-14

What I am confused about is when I go on to mouser and narrow it down to 30v, through hole, it gives me a list of these opamps but with different suffixes on them (ie AP, P, PE4, etc.). How do I know which one to get? Should I be looking on a different site?

I know this may sound too easy for some, but after searching and comparing opamps I just can not figure it out. Any help is greatly appreciated, and any specific recommendations would be awesome and greatly appreciated too!

Thanks guys,

If you get the spec sheet on the part, there is usually an explanation in the documentation to tell you what all the suffixes mean.

Go with the "AP"

Thanks for the help! Just a guess, but does the AP stand for "Audio Product" or something along those lines? If so

Thanks again,

read the data sheet for the part, that will most often specify what suffixes mean.

Funny!

The "A" indicates a slightly better specification than a part without A.

The "P" indicates that the part is a "plastic" DIP package.
