Force Sensing Resistor,1.5 INCH Square,1oz-22LBS,2 Leads,0.1 INCH SPACING

Force-Sensing Resistor This force-sensing resistor (FSR) from Interlink Electronics is a passive component that exhibits a decrease in resistance when there is an increase in the force applied to the 1.5" x 1.5" (38 x 38 mm) active area, allowing you to create a sensor that is able to detect force or pressure. The polymer thick film (PFT) device is optimized for use in human touch control of electronic devices and can sense an applied force ranging from a few dozen grams to over 10 kg (22 lb). Features: 1.72" flexible square pad Extremely thin: 0.02" Lightweight: 1.2 grams Active sensing area: 1.5" x 1.5" 1.5" flexible male leads (0.1" spacing) Lowest amount of force measurable: 50 grams Applications: Pressure-sensitive touch user interface Tactile sensor for robotic appendages Drum pad for an electronic instrument Alarm system sensor Target contact detection
