FSR-402 Force Sensitive Resistor - 0.5"

FSR-402 Force Sensitive Resistor is a piezoresistive sensor for detecting pressure, force, squeezing, and weight. It changes resistance as force is applied to its surface. This force sensing resistor is a passive element that functions as a variable resistor in an electrical circuit. The FSR-402 uses a thick polymer film structure and has a two-pin connection. It is suited for pressure-sensing and touch-oriented electronic designs.
