The Force Sensor 5.08mm Circle is a compact force-sensitive resistor designed to detect pressure, touch and applied force. Its electrical resistance decreases as greater force is applied to the circular sensing area, allowing the sensor to be easily interfaced with microcontrollers and analog measurement circuits. The thin and flexible construction makes it suitable for applications where space is limited and simple force or pressure detection is required.
