The FSR402 Pressure Sensor is a force-sensitive resistor (FSR) that detects the amount of pressure or force applied to its surface. The short leg version of the FSR402 is ideal for applications where space is limited or when a smaller footprint is required. This particular model is rated for a maximum force of 10kg, making it suitable for lightweight to moderate pressure sensing applications.
Key Features:
-
Force-Sensitive Resistor (FSR): The FSR402 is a pressure-sensitive resistor, meaning its resistance decreases as the applied force or pressure increases.
-
Max Force Rating: Rated to handle up to 10kg of pressure, ideal for lightweight to moderate applications.
-
Short Leg Design: This version comes with shorter legs, making it easier to integrate into compact projects or devices where space is a concern.
-
Wide Range of Applications: Suitable for use in various applications such as touch-sensitive controls, pressure pads, or force sensing in robots, prosthetics, and more.
-
Easy Integration: The sensor can easily be interfaced with microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other embedded systems using analog input pins.
