Generic Mini 5.08mm Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR) Round Pressure Sensor
This Mini 5.08mm (0.2″) diameter Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR) provides a variable resistance output proportional to applied pressure, making it compatible with microcontroller ADCs on Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32 platforms for basic force detection applications.
Features
- Ultra-thin 0.45mm profile for integration into compact assemblies.
- Active sensing area diameter of 5.08mm (0.2″) with a force range from 0.1N to 10N.
- Resistance varies from >1MΩ (no load) down to ~2.5kΩ (full force).
- Robust polymer construction rated for up to 10 million actuation cycles.
- Breadboard-friendly 0.1″ pitch pinout for simple prototyping and integration.

This round Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR) operates on the principle of piezoresistivity, where applied force reduces the internal resistance of a conductive polymer composite. The 5.08mm diameter active area provides a localized pressure response, with resistance dropping logarithmically as force increases from 0.1 Newtons to 10 Newtons.
Designed for qualitative force detection rather than precision measurement, the sensor offers a fast response time under 3 microseconds and operates across an industrial temperature range of -30°C to +60°C. Its simple two-wire interface outputs an analog resistance signal easily conditioned with a voltage divider for microcontroller ADC input.
