Force Sensitive Resistors are two wire devices. They are robust polymer thick film sensors that exhibit a decrease in resistance with Increase in pressure applied to the surface of the sensor. This kind of devices can be used in automotive electronics, medical systems and in industrial and robotics applications.

This is a small Force sensitive resistor. It has 0.3 INCH active sensing area. This Force sensitive resistor will vary its resistance depending on how much pressure is being applied to the sensing area. If the pressure is more, the lower will be the resistance. When no pressure is being applied to the surface of the Force sensitive resistor, its resistance will be larger than 1MO, with full pressure applied to the surface of it, the resistance will be 2.5kO. These sensors are simple to set up and great for sensing pressure. Two pins extend from the bottom of the sensor with 0.1" pitch making it easy to interface and use. Pressure sensitivity dependent on mechanics and resolution depends on measurement electronics. Force sensitive resistors are two-wire devices with a resistance that depends on applied force. For a simple Pressure-to-voltage conversion, the FSR device is tied to a measuring resistor in a voltage divider configuration. The output voltage increases with increasing force.
