RFP602 Resistive Thin Film Pressure Sensor 5KG
The RFP602 is a resistive thin-film pressure sensor designed for measuring forces up to 5kg, featuring a compact 5mm diameter active area and a sub-millisecond response time. Its ultra-thin 0.3mm profile and flexible construction make it suitable for integration into tight spaces and flexible assemblies, compatible with common microcontroller ADCs for force-sensing applications.
Features
- Resistive thin-film sensing principle with a 5mm diameter active area.
- Force measurement range from 0g up to 5kg (approx. 50N).
- Ultra-thin 0.3mm profile for flexible and low-profile integration.
- Fast response time of less than 1 millisecond for dynamic force detection.
- Wide operating temperature range from -30°C to 60°C.

The RFP602 operates on the principle of force-sensitive resistance (FSR), where applied pressure decreases the internal resistance of a specialized polymer thick film. This change in resistance is inversely proportional to the applied force, allowing for precise force or pressure measurement through a simple voltage divider circuit connected to a microcontroller’s analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
Its flexible and ultra-thin construction enables seamless integration into ergonomic designs, wearable devices, and human-machine interfaces where space is constrained. The sensor provides a reliable, repeatable response across its specified force range, making it suitable for both static load monitoring and dynamic touch detection applications.
