FSR402 Force Sensitive Resistor (0-10N)

FSR402 0.5" Circular Force Sensing Resistor (100g - 10kg)

The FSR402 is a polymer thick film (PTF) sensor that exhibits a sharp decrease in electrical resistance as normal force is applied to its 0.5" active surface. Optimized for human touch detection, musical electronic drum pads, and robotic gripper grasp force feedback.
