Force Sensor Resistor 14.7mm Round Pressure Sensor 0.5 Inch
This 14.7mm diameter force-sensitive resistor (FSR) provides a variable resistance output proportional to applied force from 100g to 10kg. It is designed for easy integration with microcontroller ADCs on platforms like Arduino and Raspberry Pi for basic force detection and pressure-sensing applications.
Features
- 0.5-inch (14.7mm) circular active sensing area with a force range of 100g to 10kg.
- Variable resistance output, decreasing from >1MΩ (no load) as force increases.
- Ultra-thin 0.45mm profile with a peel-and-stick adhesive backing for simple mounting.
- Standard 0.1″ pitch pin spacing for direct breadboard or PCB compatibility.
- Durable construction rated for up to 10 million actuations in typical use.

This force-sensitive resistor operates on the principle of piezoresistivity, where the electrical resistance through a conductive polymer Matrix decreases predictably under mechanical pressure. The sensor provides an analog resistance signal that can be conditioned via a simple voltage divider circuit and read by a microcontroller’s ADC input for relative force measurement.
With an ultra-thin 0.45mm form factor and an integrated adhesive backing, the sensor is designed for embedding into assemblies where space is constrained. It is suited for applications requiring robust, repeatable actuation over millions of cycles, though it is not calibrated for precision weighing. The standard 0.1″ pin spacing ensures straightforward interfacing with development boards and custom circuits.
