Hello i am using the following OPAMP in my circuit.
I know i need to put reverse biased diodes to protect my OPAMP.
How do i know what diode exactly can be used in my case?
Also in forward biased the diode has 0.7 voltage drop over it so i should use 5.7V in my power supply to have exactly 5 V on the opamp?
Thanks.

Why do you think that anything requires protection. Can you be more explicit about what you think the problem is?

 

i want to incorporate diodes to protect my opamp just in case.

Just in case OF WHAT?
You can only protect the amplifier if you know what you are protecting it from.

Just in case of what exactly? Aliens? An EMP?

 

I just want to learn about protection diodes and in what cases they being used and how.
if you could help me with some tips.
Thanks.

I understand that desire on your part, but I'm unclear on what you are trying to protect against.

 

If you want to protect it from theft, then solder it to the board instead of using a socket.

But seriously, if you read page 13 of the datasheet there is a good description as to how overdriving it could make it fail.
That would suggest that reverse biased diodes to both supplies would be adequate protection, the current rating of the diode should reflect the magnitude of the prospective fault current.
You have to determine the prospective fault current for the circuit in which you are using it,
