Mikroelektronika MIKROE-2065 Force Sensing Resistor, 0.2N-20N Range, Analog Output, 3.3V/5V, mikroBU

Technical description of the product (MIKROE-2065):

MIKROE-2065 is an Interlink Electronics’ Force Sensing Resistor, range is from about 0.2N to 20N, Analog output. Force click is a mikroBUS™ add-on board with circuitry for implementing Interlink Electronics’ Force Sensing Resistors into your projects (with a single zone force sensing resistor included with the click). The Force Sensing Resistor is a thin sensor made of two membranes that are separated by a spacer around the edges. When pressed, the gap between two membranes gets closed. This shorts the two membranes together, with a resistance that is proportional to applied force. The outputted analog voltage is thus a measure of force applied. The force sensitivity range is from about 0.2N to 20N (although it depends on the implementation). Force click communicates with the target MCU through the mikroBUS™ AN pin. It is designed to use either a 3.3V or 5V power supply. Type: Force. Applications: Simple to implement force (pressure) measurement (when squeezed). Not recommended if high-accuracy is required. On-board modules: Force Sensing Resistors. Key Features: Screw terminals for Force Sensing Resistor, Analog output. Key Benefits: Force Sensing Resistor included in packaging. Interface: Analog. Input Voltage: 3.3V or 5V. Compatibility: mikroBUS. Click board size: S (28.6 x 25.4 mm).
