10K ohm carbon film potentiometer

This WH138 model provides a 10K ohm resistance with +/-10% tolerance in a single-turn carbon film design. It features five terminals and a linear taper suitable for standard circuit adjustments. The package contains two pieces for prototyping or repair work.

Hobbyists and repair technicians

The knurled 6mm split shaft accepts push-on knobs for panel mounting in audio, lighting or motor-speed controls. Builders needing multi-turn precision, a different resistance value or a shaft diameter other than 6mm should select another component.

17mm x 24mm base footprint

The potentiometer body measures 17mm by 24mm with a 7.6mm screw thread and 13mm shaft length, defining the panel cut-out and PCB spacing required. Verify these dimensions against your enclosure or board layout before ordering.

Questions about this item

How many mechanical rotations can the single-turn 10K ohm carbon track survive before wear appears?

The carbon film element is rated for single-turn operation; continuous cycling will gradually wear the resistive track and increase noise.

What electrical limit is reached first when the potentiometer dissipates power continuously in a 10K ohm circuit?

The carbon film element has a modest power rating; sustained wiper current heats the track and causes resistance drift before any terminal limit is hit.

Does the 6 mm knurled shaft or the carbon film element generate noticeable heat or noise during all-day adjustment?

The passive carbon film track produces no audible noise and negligible heat; only the mechanical detent of the shaft is felt during rotation.
