This Force-Sensing Resistor (FSR) has an active area of Ø5.08mm and a thickness of just 0.30mm. Overall length is 38.1mm and the device has a actuating travel of 0.05mm. The FSR is a robust, Polymer Thick Film (PFT) sensor whose material exhibits a resistance change when a force or pressure is applied. The sensitivity and performance of the FSR is optimised for use in human touch control applications such as automotive electronics, medical electronics and industrial PCs.
