Flex-Sensor FRS402

Product Description

Flex-Sensor FRS402

FSR is a sensor, so that you detect the physical pressure, squeezing and weight. They are simple to use and low cost. This is a photograph of FSR, the following model is 402. 1/2 circle diameter portion is sensitive bits.

FSR separated by two layers, as the pressure increases, these points will touch the active semiconductor elements, so that the resistance becomes small

FSR can be seen as a resistor to change its resistance value by the size of the pressure of the resistance (in ohms ?) depends on how much repression. These sensors are relatively low cost and easy to use, but they are rarely accurate. They variety, differences in performance of only about 10%. So basically when you use the FSR, you should only expect to get a response about the range. Although FSR can detect the weight, but to get to choose their specific weight data is not possible.
