Product Description

WH148 Carbon Film Potentiometer 6PIN B10K

DualGang Linear Potentiometer for GeneralPurpose Stereo and Precision Control

The WH148 B10K is a dualgang (6pin) carbon film rotary potentiometer with a 10K ohm resistance and a linear (Btaper) response curve. This compact 16mm diameter component integrates two independent potentiometers in a single housing, sharing a common shaft for simultaneous, synchronized control making it ideal for generalpurpose stereo volume control, audio mixing, and dualchannel precision adjustments.

Resistance value: 10K ohms ±20% tolerance
Linear (Bcurve) taper resistance changes proportionally with rotation angle
Dual-gang design with 6 pins (3 pins per channel)
Total mechanical rotation: 300° ±5°
Ensure proper wiring identification - each gang has its own input (pin 1), wiper (pin 2), and ground (pin 3) set
Do not exceed 200V maximum operating voltage (B-curve variants)

√ Ready to use - standard 6mm shaft with nut and washer included

√ Low rotational noise - 47mV maximum for clean operation

√ 10,000 cycle durability longlasting performance

Package Includes

  1. 1x WH148 6-Pin Dual Potentiometer (B10K)
  2. 1x Mounting Nut
  3. 1x Washer
For Arduino projects, use this 10K pot for stable analog readings - connect wiper to analog input, outer pins to GND and 5V/3.3V
For stereo audio applications, connect one gang to the left channel and the other to the right channel
This 10K value is the most commonly used resistance for general-purpose potentiometer applications
Identify pin functions: for each 3-pin gang, pin 1 input/high, pin 2 wiper/output, pin 3 = ground/low
Potentiometer is also known as the RV16AF series in some markets
For volume control, a logarithmic (Acurve) pot is often preferred; this linear (Bcurve) pot is better for precision settings and tone circuits

Avoid exceeding 0.125W power rating to prevent overheating

Avoid overtightening the mounting nut- as this can damage the shaft or housing
