The RP-C5-LT Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) is a compact, thin, and flexible pressure sensor with a 5mm sensing area, designed for light-force applications. It can detect forces from 20g up to 1kg, making it ideal for touch-sensitive detection, presence sensing, and pressure-based triggers. Its resistance decreases with increasing force, allowing simple analog readings using a voltage divider circuit and an ADC. With a peel-and-stick adhesive backing, ultra-thin 0.45mm design, and breadboard-friendly pin pitch, the RP-C5-LT integrates easily with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and other microcontrollers. While not intended for precise weight measurement, it is excellent for robotics, consumer electronics, educational, and DIY projects that require reliable force input. Featured By RoboticsBD.
