Adafruit Evil Mad Scientist Labs XL741 Discrete Op-Amp Kit

The XL741 Discrete Operational Amplifier kit from Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories is a meticulous transistor-scale replica of the μA741 op-amp integrated circuit, recognized for its widespread use and reliability in analog electronics.

With the XL741 kit, you'll receive a circuit board, resistors, transistors, and a capacitor to form a complete electrical circuit, along with printed assembly instructions. Included is the "IC Leg" stand, complemented by 8 color-coded thumbscrew terminal posts, enabling secure connections.

This easy-to-build soldering kit requires only basic electronic soldering skills, making it accessible without presupposing advanced electronics knowledge. Expect to spend around an hour on assembly.

The XL741 mirrors the "equivalent circuit" from the original Fairchild μA741 datasheet, featuring terminal posts and solder points for functional op-amp circuit creation. The kit offers a tactile experience, transforming theory into practice and keeping you engaged in the classic art of DIY electronics.
