The FSR402 Pressure Sensor is a force-sensitive resistor (FSR) designed to detect and measure pressure or force applied to its surface. It is typically used in applications where pressure measurement is required, such as robotics, tactile sensing, interactive systems, and weight detection. The FSR402 model with long legs is ideal for easier handling, integration, and mounting in various electronic projects. This particular version is rated to detect pressures up to 10kg, making it versatile for a variety of low to medium pressure applications.
Key Features:
-
Pressure Sensitivity: Detects a wide range of pressures from a few grams to up to 10kg (depending on the pressure applied), offering high flexibility in various applications.
-
Long Leg Design: The long leg version allows for easier wiring and mounting, making it more suitable for breadboarding and prototyping.
-
Analog Output: The sensor provides an analog voltage output that changes based on the applied pressure, making it compatible with microcontrollers like Arduino and Raspberry Pi for further signal processing.
-
Compact Size: Despite its ability to detect up to 10kg of force, the FSR402 is compact and lightweight, allowing for easy integration into various designs and systems.
-
