FSR406 Force Sensitive Resistor Square – Alannabi electronics | Arduino | Student Projects

This is a force sensitive resistor with a square sensing area of 43x43mm. The resistance of this FSR varies according to how much pressure is applied to the sensing surface. The lesser the resistance, the stronger the force. The FSR’s resistance will be more than 1M when no pressure is applied. This FSR can detect applied force ranging from 100g to 10kg. There is a peel-and-stick rubber backing on the other side of the sensing area to mount the FSR. To determine the force applied, just connect a resistor to make a voltage divider and measure the voltage at the junction. These sensors are easy to set up and work well for monitoring pressure, although they aren’t particularly precise. You can use them to feel if it’s being squeezed, but you shouldn’t use them as a scale. Force-Sensitive Resistive Sensor (FSR) is a type of sensor that changes its resistance in response to the applied force or pressure. It is a flexible and thin sensor made of a conductive material with resistive properties. When force is applied to the surface of the FSR, it undergoes mechanical deformation, causing the resistance between its terminals to change.
