Force Sensor Resistor Square 38.1mm – Pressure Sensor

This is a force sensitive resistor with a sensing area of a square, 1.75 x 1.5′. This FSR can vary its resistance depending on how much pressure the sensing region is applied to. The stronger the impact, the smaller the resistance. Its resistance will be greater than 1 M if no pressure is applied to the FSR.

This FSR can sense applied force anywhere in the range of 100g-10kg. Two pins extend from the bottom of the sensor with 0.1″ pitch making it bread friendly. There is a peel-and-stick rubber backing on the other side of the sensing area to mount the FSR.Just Connect a resistor to form a voltage divider and measure the voltage at the junction to find the force applied. These sensors are simple to set up and great for sensing pressure, but they aren’t incredibly accurate. Use them to sense if it’s being squeezed, but you may not want to use it as a scale.
