10K Pin Configuration

RT73 Series Thick Film Precision Resistor – 10K Variant

Note: The RT73 series consists of passive resistor components (0402, 0603, 0805, 1206 packages). These are two-terminal devices with no "pins" in the traditional sense — only two solder terminals (pads). The "10K" designation refers to the resistance value (10,000 Ω), not a specific package variant.

The datasheet does not provide a pin diagram or pinout table because resistors have only two terminals. The component is a simple two-terminal passive element.

Terminal Information

Terminal	Description
Terminal 1	First solder pad (either end)
Terminal 2	Second solder pad (opposite end)

Notes

No pin numbering applies: Resistors are bidirectional; either terminal can be connected to either side of a circuit.
Package variants (1E, 1J, 2A, 2B) differ only in physical size and power rating, not in electrical function.
10K value (10,000 Ω) is available across all four package types with tolerance options from 0.1% to 1.0%.
Refer to the "CONSTRUCTION AND DIMENSIONS" section for physical pad/terminal dimensions specific to each package size.
