FSR402 Force Sensor

The FSR402 is a Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) that exhibits a decrease in resistance with an increase in force applied to its surface. This robust polymer thick film (PTF) device is designed for measuring force or pressure over a wide range, typically from 100g to 10kg. It features a thin, flexible design with a round sensing area, making it easy to integrate into various electronic projects and prototypes. The sensor provides an analog output, which can be easily read by microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi, allowing for continuous force measurement. Key features include a compact form factor, low power consumption, and high durability. Common applications include robotics (grip force feedback), interactive art installations, musical instruments, weight measurement scales, and safety systems. Choose the FSR402 for its reliability, ease of use, and versatility in force-sensing applications.
