Additional Details

The 0402 package is an industry-standard miniature size for surface mount resistors, making it suitable for applications where space is at a premium. The ±5% tolerance signifies the permissible deviation of the actual resistance from its nominal value. The temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) indicates the resistance change per degree Celsius and reflects the resistor's stability. The nickel barrier termination ensures excellent solderability and prevents solder leaching during the soldering process. Thick film technology provides a reliable and cost-effective manufacturing method.

This resistor is typically used in applications requiring a small, reliable, and cost-effective 10kΩ resistance value.
