Force Sensor Square Shape

Force Sensor (Square FSR)

The square Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR) is a pressure sensor that changes its resistance when force is applied. With a larger, flat sensing area, it is ideal for applications requiring uniform pressure detection across a surface.

Key Features

• Force Detection: Resistance decreases with applied pressure
• Square Sensing Area: Better coverage for surface-based applications
• Analog Output: Provides continuous force-based readings
• Thin & Flexible: Easy to integrate into compact designs
• Fast Response Time: Real-time pressure sensing
• Low Power Consumption: Suitable for portable systems

Applications

• Touch & Pressure Panels: Interactive input surfaces
• Weight Detection: Basic force measurement systems
• Robotics: Grip and pressure sensing
• Smart Interfaces: Pressure-based controls
• DIY Electronics: Experimental and interactive projects

Technical Specifications

• Sensor Type: Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR)
• Shape: Square
• Resistance Range:
  • No Force: Very high resistance (Megaohms)
  • With Force: Decreases to kΩ range
• Output Type: Analog (via voltage divider)
• Response Time: Fast (<1 ms typical)
• Operating Temperature: Typically -20°C to 70°C
