Product Description

WH148 Carbon Film Potentiometer 3PIN B10K

SingleGang Linear Potentiometer for GeneralPurpose Mono Control Applications

The WH148 B10K is a singlegang (3pin) carbon film rotary potentiometer with a 10K ohm resistance and a linear (Btaper) response curve. This compact 16mm diameter component features one independent potentiometer in a single housing, making it the most versatile and commonly used potentiometer for generalpurpose mono controls, audio circuits, sensor adjustments, and precision single-channel applications.

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

For Arduino projects, this 10K pot is the recommended choice for stable analog readings - connect wiper to analog input, outer pins to GND and 5V/3.3V
For voltage divider applications, the 10K value offers excellent performance with low power consumption
This is the most commonly stocked potentiometer value - ideal for prototyping and production
Identify pin functions: pin 1 input/high, pin 2 wiper/output, pin 3 = ground/low
This 10K value is the industry standard for general-purpose electronics
Potentiometer is also known as the RV16AF series in some markets

Avoid exceeding 0.125W power rating to prevent overheating

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