Resistor Network - 10K Ohm (6-pin bussed)

If you ever find yourself connecting handfuls of resistors to the ground bus of your breadboard, you may consider these SIL-packaged resistors as a time-saving alternative. This Singe In-Line component is actually 5 individual 10K Ohm resistors that share a common terminal on pin 6 (denoted with a black dot).

These work great as current limiting resistors for rows of LEDs and two of these can replace 10 individual wire-lead resistors when hooking up our 10 LED bargraph displays. They also work well as pull-down resistors for DIP switches.

Resistor Network - 10K Ohm (6-pin bussed) Product Help and Resources

Core Skill: Soldering

This skill defines how difficult the soldering is on a particular product. It might be a couple simple solder joints, or require special reflow tools.

1 Soldering

Skill Level: Noob - Some basic soldering is required, but it is limited to a just a few pins, basic through-hole soldering, and couple (if any) polarized components. A basic soldering iron is all you should need.

Core Skill: Electrical Prototyping

If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.

1 Electrical Prototyping

Skill Level: Noob - You don't need to reference a datasheet, but you will need to know basic power requirements.

    a 10 resistor version of this would be great to have for a single package to run the resistor bars

    The description

    This Single In-Line component is actually 5 individual 10K Ohm resistors that share a common terminal on pin 6 (denoted with a black dot).

    May somebody help me find the black dot, please? It is not that easy to find such dots on a black component...

      Heh, we switched suppliers and the components are now a different color. The mark will vary, but there will always be an obvious mark by pin 1. In the above picture it's a line or bar.

    how does this work?

    • MikeGrusin / about 11 years ago / 1

      If you look at the second page of the datasheet, you'll see a schematic of the internal arrangement (this is the 4600X-101 version). Basically, pin 1 (with the dot) is connected by a resistor to each of the remaining pins. Please ask again if you're still not clear.

      • rstaph / about 11 years ago / 1

        In the description it says "This Singe [sic] In-Line component is actually 5 individual 10K Ohm resistors that share a common terminal on pin 6 (denoted with a black dot)." You may want to change that as the data sheet says pin 1 is common. (after about 2 years you'd think the misspelling would be changed too ;))

  • Beelzebot / about 12 years ago / 1

    Some SMD Quad Resistor Arrays would be nice too :)

  • GrantRegimbal / about 12 years ago / 1

    would there be a possibility to get a 1k Ohm version of this?

  • 0xDBFB7 / about 13 years ago * / 1

    I think there is a typo: Singe-in-line should be single-in-line, unless we need to burn this resistor network to attain the correct resistance.

    (perhaps that is just part of the mandatory "burn in" process)

  • CF / about 13 years ago / 1

    I'm glad you have these now! They are a lot easier to use and cleaner looking than five individual resistors.

I have had several projects where I needed upwards of 10 or 15 10K resistors and these have came in handy for space-saving and minimal-component costs. And all for $0.50 each!? GET THEM... you won't regret it. You will even thank yourself in the future for it.
