FSR 406 39.6mm Square Force Sensing Resistor
The FSR 406 model is a single-zone Force Sensing Resistor optimized for use in human touch control of electronic devices such as automotive electronics, medical systems, and industrial and robotics applications. FSRs are two-wire devices. They are robust polymer thick film (PTF) sensors that exhibit a decrease in resistance that corresponds inversely with an increase in force applied to the surface of the sensor. It has a 39.6mm square active area and is available with one of four connection options.
Note: The color of the product may vary. You may get any color while shipping.
