Product Introduction
The RB163G-H is a 16mm dual-gang rotary potentiometer with a plastic shaft, threaded bushing, horizontal mounting structure, and support bracket. It is designed for electronic equipment that requires two circuits to be controlled through one shaft. The compact structure is suitable for PCB-mounted applications where panel mounting is also required.
The potentiometer uses an M9×0.75 threaded bushing for panel installation. Its horizontal structure positions the component parallel to the PCB, while the support bracket provides an additional mounting point. The dual-gang design allows two resistance sections to operate together.
The RB163G-H is suitable for OEM and ODM production. MOQ starts at 3,000 pieces. The reference unit price is US$0.25, with better pricing available for larger quantities.
Key Features
1. 16mm Dual-Gang Design
The RB163G-H uses a 16mm body with two resistance sections operated by one shaft. This allows two related circuits to be adjusted simultaneously. It is suitable for stereo controls, dual-channel electronic equipment, and applications that require synchronized adjustment from a single rotary shaft.
2. M9×0.75 Threaded Bushing
The model is equipped with an M9×0.75 threaded bushing. This provides a practical panel mounting solution and allows the potentiometer to be secured through a compatible panel hole. The threaded structure is useful when the rotary control must be fixed firmly to an equipment panel.
3. Horizontal PCB Mounting
The RB163G-H uses a horizontal PCB mounting structure. The potentiometer body is positioned parallel to the circuit board, while the shaft extends toward the equipment panel. This arrangement can help engineers integrate the component into products with specific PCB and panel layouts.
4. Plastic Shaft
The RB163G-H features a plastic shaft for manual rotary operation. The shaft is suitable for use with external knobs and control interfaces. The supplied RB16 series drawing provides different shaft configurations and dimensions, allowing engineers to select a suitable mechanical arrangement for their equipment design.
5. Support Bracket
A support bracket is integrated into the horizontal mounting structure. It provides an additional mechanical connection between the potentiometer and PCB. This structure can help maintain component positioning during PCB assembly and normal manual operation.
6. Suitable for Volume Production
The RB163G-H is designed for OEM and ODM applications requiring repeatable supply. The standard MOQ is 3,000 pieces, with a reference price of US$0.25 per piece. Larger order quantities can receive more competitive pricing based on the project volume.

Customization Options
The RB163G-H belongs to the RB16 series of insulated-shaft rotary potentiometers. The supplied technical drawing shows several shaft and mounting configurations within the series. Engineers can select a suitable shaft configuration according to the panel structure, knob design, and available installation space.
For OEM and ODM projects, customers can confirm the required resistance value, resistance taper, shaft length, shaft style, PCB layout, and mounting dimensions before production.
The standard RB163G-H uses an M9×0.75 threaded bushing. Before production, customers should check the panel mounting hole, PCB hole position, shaft length, and overall installation dimensions against the mechanical drawing.
For volume projects, our engineering team can review the customer’s mechanical or PCB drawing to confirm product compatibility before mass production.
Applications
The RB163G-H is suitable for electronic equipment requiring dual-circuit rotary adjustment and panel mounting. Typical applications include stereo audio equipment, audio amplifiers, speaker systems, mixing equipment, electronic instruments, control panels, consumer electronics, home audio systems, PCB control boards, industrial electronic equipment, and compact control devices. The dual-gang structure allows two circuits to be adjusted through one shaft. The horizontal mounting design is useful for specific PCB layouts, while the M9×0.75 threaded bushing provides a practical panel mounting solution. Its 16mm size offers a balance between compact installation and convenient manual operation.
