TL072 Orientation…

[Coda]

Does it matter which way it is put in? The case gives no real indication.

usually that circle marks pin 1

Yes, and that will go towards the notched end of the socket.

Pin 1 lines up with the square pad then, correct?

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

Yes. Hopefully, you're asking this question before applying power.

BTW, this dot does not indicate IC alignment, it is a via under the IC. Would be better if such things did not appear on the assembly diagram.

Yes. Hopefully, you're asking this question before applying power.

No power yet. I placed them with the corner dots closest to the square pads. Thanks to everyone for the help.
