TE Connectivity FX293X-100A-0025-L Load Cell, Compact Compression, 25 lbf, mV/Analog/I2C Output

This load cell offers three configurable output modes. It provides a raw millivolt (mV) signal proportional to the applied force. Alternatively, it can be configured for a conditioned analog output of 0.5V to 4.5V for direct ADC connection. The third option is a digital I2C interface, providing calibrated digital readings for easy integration with microcontrollers like Arduino or Raspberry Pi.

The FX293X-100A-0025-L operates from a wide DC supply range of 1.0V to 6.0V, making it compatible with both 3.3V and 5V logic systems. Under typical conditions, the sensor draws approximately 3 mA of current, which is suitable for battery-powered and portable applications where low energy consumption is critical.

Built with a rugged stainless steel enclosure and TE's Microfused MEMS technology, the load cell is designed for long-term reliability and high cycle counts. It features a high overrange capability, allowing it to withstand compressive loads up to 2.5 times its rated 25 lbf capacity without permanent damage or calibration shift, providing a safety margin in dynamic applications.

The sensor has a compact footprint of 20 mm by 20 mm and weighs only 6 grams, making it ideal for space-constrained designs. For accurate measurement, it must be mounted such that the compressive force is applied evenly to the central sensing area.
