Force Sensor Resistor 14.7mm Round Pressure Sensor 0.5 Inch

The Force Sensor Resistor 14.7mm Round Pressure Sensor from Micron Robotics is a versatile and cost-effective solution for detecting force and pressure in electronic projects. This round pressure sensor operates on the principle of variable resistance—the greater the applied force, the lower the resistance. When no force is applied, the sensor’s resistance exceeds 1MΩ, and it gradually decreases as pressure increases within the range of 100 grams to 10 kilograms. With a 0.5-inch circular sensing area, it ensures reliable detection across the entire surface. Designed with two 0.1-inch pitch pins, this force sensor resistor is breadboard-friendly and easy to integrate into prototypes. The peel-and-stick backing allows quick mounting on flat surfaces. Simply connect it in a voltage divider circuit and read the output using an ADC to determine applied force. While FSRs are not precision weighing devices, they are excellent for detecting touch, squeeze, pressure presence, and force variation. This makes them ideal for robotics, consumer electronics, and OEM development kits. Compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and microcontrollers, this sensor is robust, flexible, and built for up to 10 million actuations.
