          </font><br>
        </div>
        <div>The answer to A) is no, because of 1)<br>
        </div>
        <div>Recently I made some THT design and was just so happy about
          it until I found how many parts that I freely use in SMD are
          simply not made in THT, so the choice usually comes to one
          part if any.<br>
        </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>The answer to B) is usually Mouser, but they have sometimes
          errors in describing parameters, or take different values to
          the table, like "typical" for one part and "minimum" for the
          other part. Sometimes I use DigiKey, mostly because they seem
          to have more refined parameters to search and I can type the
          quantity of interest, and then sort by the price. Mouser sorts
          only at qty 1 which is useless.<br>
        </div>
        <div>And obviously all manufacturer's websites contain
          parametric search, which is the most accuratre, but still I
          prefer Mouser because it gives me guidance of the price and
          availability.<br>
        </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>And if it's for some S&H, why don't you stick with
          TL0xx? Are you sure your switching key has lower leakage than
          bias of TL0xx opamp? Or try LF347 maybe but it's inferior to
          LF444 in this application anyway.<br>
        </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Give LF444 a chance, get new ones, maybe they were handled
          very badly and inputs were damaged by ESD because of bad
          storage. They would still work but bias may be in range of nA
          instead of pA.<br>

              <div>Hey Team,<br>
              </div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div>I'm looking for opamps with the following properties:<br>
              </div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div>1) Through-hole<br>
              </div>
              <div>2) Quad opamp<br>
              </div>
              <div>3) 14-DIP package<br>
              </div>
              <div>4) High power range (+/-18V, say)<br>
              </div>
              <div>5) Low input bias current (10 pA or less typical)<br>
              </div>
              <div>6) Pin-compatible with TL074, etc.<br>
              </div>
              <div>7) Not LF444 (cuz they all seem to be defective)<br>
              </div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div>So, basically, I'm looking for a suitable alternative
                for LF444.<br>
              </div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div>So, here are my questions:<br>
              </div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div>A) Do you know of such a thing<br>
              </div>
              <div>B) How does one go about finding such a thing,
