Help about op-amp...

The opamps you are looking at are 40 and 42 years old. There are much better ones available today for nearly the same cost.

The Japanese 741 opamp datasheet does not say the supply current like American datasheets do but shows a graph of the power dissipation vs supply voltage on page 10. For example, with a plus and minus 15V supply the power dissipation is 65mW then the supply current is calculated to be typically 65mW/30V= 2.2mA. An American LM741 is listed to have a supply current of  1.7mA.
Look on page 12 of the Japanese datasheet to see a graph of the "Max output Shorted Current" vs temperature of their 741 opamp.

The datasheet for the LM301A lists its supply current very clearly on page 2 and shows a graph on page 4.
It shows a graph of its Output Current Limiting on page 4.

What do you want to use these crappy op-amps for?

You do know they're no good for audio.

If it's just DC voltage amplification they'll be fine as long as you're aware that the inputs and outputs need to be 3V above the negative supply and 3V below the positive supply in order for them to work properly.
