Force Sensing Resistors

Description

Interlink Electronics FSR

400 Series is part of the single zone Force Sensing Resistor

family. Force Sensing Resistors, or FSR's, are robust polymer thick film (PTF) devices that

exhibit a decrease in resistance with increase in force applied to the surface of the sensor.

This force sensitivity is optimized for use in human machine interface devices

including automotive electronics, medical systems, industrial controls and robotics.

The FSR 400 Series sensors come in seven different models with four different connecting

options. A battery operated demo is available. Call us for more information at
