Force Sensor Resistor Square 38.1mm

This force-sensitive resistor (FSR) varies its resistance based on the amount of force applied to the sensing area. The greater the force, the lower the resistance. When no force is applied, the resistance exceeds 1MΩ.

Force Sensor Resistor

• Use As Accurate Scale: Do not use the FSR as a highly accurate scale due to its general inaccuracy in precise measurements.,
• Expose To Extreme Conditions: Avoid exposing the sensor to extreme mechanical stress or environmental conditions that could damage the sensor.

• Connect With Resistor: Connect a resistor to form a voltage divider and measure the voltage at the junction to determine the force applied.,
• Mount Properly: Use the peel-and-stick rubber backing to properly mount the FSR.,
• Interface With Microcontrollers: Interface with microcontrollers, Arduino boards, or Raspberry Pi using an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) for best results.

The sensor is robust, capable of up to 10 million actuations.

The sensor can detect forces from 100g up to 10kg.

• Description: Connect the FSR in series with a fixed resistor. The junction between the FSR and the fixed resistor should connect to an ADC input. The other ends should connect to a power supply (Vcc) and ground respectively.
