Tekscan FlexiForce A301/1 Force Sensor - 0-111N Range, 2-Pin Connector
The Tekscan FlexiForce A301/1 is an ultra-thin, flexible piezoresistive force sensor ideal for embedding into OEM products, test equipment, and consumer electronics. It provides a dynamic 0-111N measurement range and is compatible with standard 2.54mm pin-spacing connectors for easy integration into custom circuits.
Features
- Ultra-Thin & Flexible Design: Only 0.203mm thick polyester construction allows for embedding in tight spaces and curved surfaces.
- Wide Dynamic Range: Measures forces from 0 to 111 Newtons (approx. 0-11 kg), adjustable via drive voltage and feedback resistor.
- High Precision Performance: Features excellent linearity (<±3% FS), low hysteresis (<4.5% FS), and fast 5µs response time.
- Robust Operating Range: Functions reliably across a wide -40°C to +60°C temperature range for demanding environments.
- Simple Integration: Standard 2-pin male square pin connector with 2.54mm spacing for straightforward PCB or breadboard connection.

The FlexiForce A301/1 sensor utilizes a patented piezoresistive technology where applied force changes the resistance across its 9.53mm diameter sensing area. This change in resistance can be measured via a simple op-amp conditioning circuit, translating force into a proportional analog voltage signal. Its ultra-thin, flexible polyester substrate makes it ideal for non-invasive force measurement in constrained or moving assemblies.
Engineered for high-volume OEM integration, the sensor offers stable performance with minimal drift (<5% per log time scale) and high repeatability (<±2.5%). The sensing range is user-configurable by adjusting the drive voltage (0.25-1.25 VDC) and the value of the external feedback resistor, providing design flexibility for applications from light touch to high-force detection.
