Generic POT-C36H12 Force Sensitive Resistor (20g-200g) - Thin Film Sensor
The POT-C36H12 is a compact thin-film force-sensitive resistor (FSR) designed for precise measurement of applied force within a 20g to 200g range. It integrates seamlessly with 3.3V/5V microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32 via a simple voltage divider circuit, providing an analog output proportional to pressure for robotics, wearables, and interactive electronics.
Features
- Precise force sensing range from 20 grams to 200 grams.
- Compact 36mm length with a 12mm diameter active sensing area.
- Analog output via variable resistance, ideal for microcontroller ADC inputs.
- Low-power, flexible, and durable thin-film polymer construction.
- Simple integration for touch controls, robotic grippers, and pressure-sensitive interfaces.

The POT-C36H12 operates on the principle of piezoresistivity, where the electrical resistance of its conductive polymer film decreases predictably with applied mechanical force. This analog output provides a continuous, high-resolution signal for precise pressure measurement, making it suitable for nuanced force feedback applications.
Designed for integration into space-constrained and portable devices, its thin profile and flexible substrate allow for mounting on curved or dynamic surfaces. The sensor requires a basic voltage divider circuit with a pull-down resistor to interface with standard 3.3V or 5V logic systems, enabling straightforward calibration against known weights for accurate force mapping.
