Product Description

WH148 Carbon Film Potentiometer 3PIN 15MM 10K

Single-Gang Linear Potentiometer with 15mm Shaft for Versatile Control Applications

The WH148 B10K is a singlegang (3pin) carbon film rotary potentiometer featuring a 10K ohm resistance, a linear (Btaper) response curve, and a 15mm shaft length. This compact 16mm diameter component is one of the most popular and versatile potentiometers, widely used in audio equipment, Arduino projects, instrument controls, and generalpurpose electronics.

Resistance value: 10K ohms ±20% tolerance [citation:1]
Linear (Bcurve) taper resistance changes proportionally with rotation angle [citation:1]
Single-gang design with 3 pins (input, wiper, ground)
Total mechanical rotation: 300° ±5° [citation:1][citation:9]
Ensure proper wiring identification - pin 1 (input/high), pin 2 (wiper/output), pin 3 (ground/low)
Do not exceed 200V maximum operating voltage [citation:1][citation:9]
