Unique-Bargains WH148 10K ohm Carbon Film Potentiometer 5pcs

SKU CH-1AMX-QM914 MPN WH148

Pack of five 10 kΩ single-turn carbon-film potentiometers with 5 terminals, 6 mm knurled shafts and 17 mm base for breadboard or PCB projects

  • Key featuresHorizontal Multiturn Trimmer Potentiometers; Potentiometer R
  • 10K ohm resistance for precise circuit control
  • Single-turn carbon film design ensures smooth adjustment
  • Five terminals enable flexible wiring configurations
  • Knurled 6 mm shaft fits standard push-on knobs
  • Pack of five supports multiple project builds

Five 10K ohm carbon film potentiometers

This pack contains five WH148 single-turn carbon film potentiometers, each with a 10K ohm resistance value and ±10% tolerance. They feature a round knurled shaft designed for push-on knobs and a horizontal mounting style. The components are supplied without knobs included.

Hobbyists and repair technicians

These suit anyone building or repairing audio equipment, lighting dimmers, motor speed controllers or similar analogue circuits where a 10K ohm variable resistor is specified. They are not suited for applications requiring multi-turn precision, a different resistance value, a vertical mounting footprint or an included knob.

10K ohm resistance with five terminals

The decisive specification is the 10K ohm resistance combined with a five-terminal single linear taper. Verify that your circuit calls for exactly this value and terminal count before ordering.

Questions about this item

What are the mounting-thread diameter and base footprint for the WH148 potentiometer?

The bushing thread is 6.7 mm and the base measures 17 mm by 9 mm.

How do I wire the five terminals on this single-turn carbon-film unit?

Terminals 1 and 3 connect to the resistive track ends, terminal 2 is the wiper, and the remaining two are the integrated switch contacts.

When should I replace the WH148 if the shaft feels loose or the resistance becomes noisy?

Replace it when the 6 mm knurled shaft develops noticeable play or the 10 K ohm track shows scratchy output during rotation.
