MP-1 Noise Mod - TL072IN no longer available, is the 105C max a critical spec?

(1/1)

DesolationBlvd:
I want to perform the Noise Mod on my MP-1, since the battery died and I might as well do it while I have the case open, but 511-TL072IN is no longer available at Mouser. I notice it had a +105C maximum temperature, compared to the +85C the other available through-hole TL072s top out at. Meanwhile, the only high temperature TL072s are SMD. Is the maximum temperature a critical spec?

rnolan:
Hey DesolationBlvd, my guess is yes, particularly if it's near the tubes or anything else that gets hot.  Maybe one/some of our more tech edumacated members can advise but a 20C difference is substantial.

MarshallJMP:
Use a OPA2134PA

Gregg:
OPA2134PA is also an 85C part, but wouldn’t worry about it. Should hold up fine as long as the gear is well ventilated.

If you really wanted to use a higher temp TL072 there are DIP to SMT adapters but it wouldn’t bother.  MJMP’s advice is “sound.”

DesolationBlvd:
Thanks for letting me know of the replacement you would use for the now-discontinued part. I've placed the order now.
