FSR Kit Combo

These FSR's are perfect for robotic grippers, robot feet, and similar tactile feedback applications.

We searched long and hard to find a flat force sensing resistor that we liked. When we tried these bad boys out for the first time we knew the search was over. Paper thin and well made, these FSR's are just plain fun to play with.

These FSR's have thin rubber lamination on the back which adds to their quality and durability. The rubber backing also has a peel and stick backing for mounting the FSR!

Solderable tabs make integration a breeze and the tabs fit right into any standard (0.1" pitch) breadboard.

What is even better is that you can customize the sensitivity level of these FSR's by using the Phidget Voltage Divider.  By adjusting the potentiometer to higher or lower values you can adjust the sensitivity band up or down. This is perfect for customizing the sensor to the weight of your robot or the strength of your gripper!

0.5" FSR connected to Phidget Voltage Divider.  No solder, no tape, no problem!
