Force Sensitive Resistor RP-C10-LT (20g-3kg)
The RP-C10-LT Force Sensitive Resistor is an analog thin-film sensor providing variable resistance output proportional to applied force from 20g to 3kg. It is compatible with common 3.3V/5V microcontroller ADCs for integration into Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32 projects requiring precise force or pressure detection.
Features
- Analog resistive output proportional to applied force.
- Wide sensing range from 20 grams to 3 kilograms.
- High initial resistance of 10MΩ at minimal force (20g).
- Robust operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.
- Durable construction rated for over 1 million actuation cycles.

The RP-C10-LT operates on the principle of piezoresistivity, where the electrical resistance of its conductive polymer or ink layer decreases predictably as mechanical force is applied. This change creates an analog voltage divider signal when paired with a fixed-value pull-down resistor, easily read by a microcontroller’s analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
Designed for reliable performance in varied environments, its thin-film construction offers a compact form factor suitable for embedding into assemblies. The sensor’s wide operational temperature and high cycle life make it suitable for both prototyping and end-use applications demanding consistent, real-time force feedback.
