Force Sensor 0.5" Circular – Product Description

The Force Sensor 0.5" Circular is a thin, flexible force-sensitive resistor (FSR) designed to detect and measure physical pressure, squeezing, or weight applied to its sensing area. As the applied force increases, the sensor's resistance decreases, making it ideal for pressure-sensing applications in robotics, wearable devices, interactive projects, and electronic prototypes.

With its compact 0.5-inch circular sensing area and lightweight construction, this sensor can be easily integrated into Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and other microcontroller-based projects. It provides a simple and cost-effective solution for detecting touch, pressure, and force without requiring complex circuitry.
