Product Description

WH148 Carbon Film Potentiometer 6PIN B250K

Dual-Gang Linear Potentiometer for Stereo and Precision Control

The WH148 B250K is a dualgang (6pin) carbon film rotary potentiometer with a 250K 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 stereo volume control, balanced signal processing, and precision dual-channel adjustments in higher impedance circuits.

Resistance value: 250K 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)

Package Includes

  1. 1x WH148 6-Pin Dual Potentiometer (B250K)
  2. 1x Mounting Nut
  3. 1x Washer
For stereo audio applications, connect one gang to the left channel and the other to the right channel
For guitar pedal builds, this pot works well for tone and volume controls
For volume control, a logarithmic (Acurve) pot is often preferred; this linear (Bcurve) pot is better for precision settings and tone circuits
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
This higher resistance (250K) is preferred for tubebased audio and highZ inputs

Avoid exceeding 0.05W power rating to prevent overheating

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

Avoid use in lowimpedance circuits- as the high resistance may cause signal degradation
