4082c dual opamp equivalent ?

4082c dual opamp equivalent ?

2006-12-16 by gil_we

Hi all,

I'm trying to fix my OB Matrix6R, on which the left channel doesn't 
play. The last stage is a NEC C4082C dual opamp (datasheet attached to 
Files section).

I wonder whether it is possible to replace it with a 4558 or a TL072 
opamp, safely ?

There is also one 4053 that I suspect. In case I need to replace it, 
what could be a good substitue for it in case it can't be found ?

Thanks for any advice.

Hi,

You'd better use a TL082 instead of the 072. You'll usually find that the right
replacement op amps will end with the same numbers.

Concerning the 4053, I bet it's a CD4053, so you may not have any problems in
finding one.

And one last good thing, while you're at desoldering chips: use (golden) sockets
!

Cheers,

Michel

Thanks, 

Well, I found that it is not the opamp. Actually, aside from the 
4053, there's also an IC tagged "C741C" in at the same circuit - 
would that one be hard to find ? any equivalents ?

So, if it's an 8 pin dip one, this could be a LM741... !

If you're not sure, try to do some minor reverse-engineering, it may be quite
easy finding out the power supply pins first (V+ = pin 7 and V- = pin 4 on the
741), then, you should find some basic structure around it, so you can verify
if it can be an LM741 or not.

The complete 741 pinout may help you...

Don't know if you already have it but the schematics should help :

(quite bad quality, but you can actually read things like "TL082" etc ;)
