Generic Force Sensitive Resistor RP-C7.6-LT (30g-1.5kg) - Thin Film Sensor
The RP-C7.6-LT is a thin-film force-sensitive resistor (FSR) designed for precise force detection from 30 grams to 1.5 kilograms, with a resistance output ranging from 500 kΩ to 500 Ω. Its ultra-thin 0.3mm profile with rear adhesive makes it ideal for integration into compact electronics, wearable devices, and interactive surfaces compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontroller ADCs.
Features
- Ultra-thin 0.3mm profile with integrated adhesive backing for easy mounting.
- Wide force sensing range from a light 30g actuation up to 1.5kg.
- Analog resistance output varies from ~500 kΩ (no force) down to ~500 Ω (max force).
- Robust operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C for demanding environments.
- Simple two-terminal interface for straightforward voltage divider circuit integration.

The RP-C7.6-LT Force Sensitive Resistor operates on the principle of piezoresistivity, where applied force reduces the internal resistance of a specialized polymer thick film. This change in resistance is highly repeatable and provides a simple analog method for force measurement without complex signal conditioning.
Engineered for durability, the sensor’s thin-film construction and wide operating temperature range ensure reliable performance in applications from consumer electronics to industrial controls. Its output characteristic is non-linear, requiring calibration via a simple voltage divider circuit to interface with a microcontroller’s analog-to-digital converter for precise force quantification.
