Description

The RFP602 operates on the principle of force-sensitive resistance (FSR). A conductive polymer film exhibits a decrease in electrical resistance proportional to the applied force, providing a simple analog signal for measurement. This sensor requires an external pull-up resistor and an ADC channel on a microcontroller for precise force quantification.

Engineered for durability, the thin-film construction withstands repeated flexing and is suitable for integration into tight spaces. Its performance is stable across the specified industrial temperature range, making it applicable for both consumer electronics and robust industrial control interfaces.

Key Features

  • Force-Sensitive Resistor (FSR) technology provides analog output proportional to applied pressure.
  • Flexible polymer substrate allows for installation on curved or irregular surfaces.
  • High repeatability and long operational life for reliable performance in interactive systems.
  • Simple two-wire interface (signal and ground) for easy integration into existing circuits.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for high-volume or cost-sensitive tactile sensing applications.

Applications

  • Tactile force feedback and button replacement in game controllers and musical instruments.
  • Medical device controls for infusion pumps or patient monitoring systems requiring gentle touch input.
  • Industrial human-machine interface (HMI) panels for machinery operation and process control.
  • Robotic gripper and end-effector force sensing for delicate object manipulation.
  • Wearable electronics and smart textiles for pressure distribution monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal of the RFP602 sensor and how do I read it?

The RFP602 provides an analog resistive output. Its resistance decreases as force is applied. To read it, connect one pin to an analog input pin on a microcontroller (e.g., Arduino) via a pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ), and the other pin to ground. The ADC will read a voltage that correlates to the applied force.

What is the maximum force this sensor can measure?

The RFP602 is rated for a maximum force of 1 kilogram (kg). Applying forces beyond this limit may cause permanent damage or calibration drift. It is designed for precise measurement within the 0g to 1kg range.

How do I mount or install this thin-film pressure sensor?

Due to its flexible 0.3mm construction, the sensor can be mounted with adhesive onto flat or gently curved surfaces. Ensure the 5mm active sensing area is positioned where force will be applied evenly. Avoid Sharp Microelectronics bends or creases directly over the sensing area to maintain accuracy and longevity.
