Component Technical Specifications

A Force Sensor, or Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR), is a material whose resistance decreases as pressure is applied to its surface. These thin, flexible sensors provide an analog output, making them perfect for detecting touch, weight, or squeeze intensity in electronic interfaces and wearable devices.

Technical Specifications

Operating VoltageTypically 3.3V to 5V DC.
Force Sensitivity RangeVaries by model (e.g., 0.1N to 100N).
Output TypeAnalog voltage (via a voltage divider circuit).
DurabilityHigh lifecycle, often rated for millions of actuations.
Form FactorAvailable in various shapes, including round and strip configurations.

Key Applications

User InputsPressure-sensitive buttons for musical instruments or controllers.
RoboticsProviding tactile feedback for robotic grippers to prevent crushing objects.
Medical DevicesMonitoring bed occupancy or prosthetic limb pressure points.
