The RP-C18.3-LT Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) is a compact, thin, and flexible pressure sensor that changes resistance based on applied force. With an 18.3mm diameter sensing area, it can detect forces from 20g up to 6kg, making it ideal for detecting touch, squeeze, or light-to-moderate pressure levels. The harder the applied force, the lower the resistance, which can be measured easily with an ADC via a voltage divider circuit. Featuring a peel-and-stick adhesive backing, ultra-thin 0.45mm profile, and breadboard-friendly pin spacing, this sensor is simple to integrate into microcontroller platforms such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32. While not designed for precise weight measurement, it is perfect for robotics, consumer electronics, prototyping, and educational projects. Featured By RoboticsBD.
