Force Sensitive Resistor 0.2 inch 5.08mm Pressure Sensor

Force Sensitive Resistor 0.2 inch 5.08mm Pressure Sensor is a force sensor resistor having a round sensing area of 0.2″ diameter. The resistance across the sensor terminals will vary depending upon the amount of pressure applied to the sensing area. As the applied pressure increases, resistance decreases. During no load conditions, the resistance will be greater than 1MOhm. This sensor is able to measure forces in the range of 100g to 10 kg. You can easily interface this sensor with Micro-controllers, Arduino Boards, Raspberry Pi etc. using an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC).
