The RP-C18.3-ST Force Sensitive Resistor operates on the principle of piezoresistivity, where applied force reduces the internal resistance of a specialized polymer film. This change creates a variable analog voltage signal when used in a simple voltage divider configuration, allowing microcontrollers to precisely measure force magnitude.
Engineered for reliability, the sensor exhibits minimal hysteresis and long-term drift, making it suitable for applications requiring consistent readings. Its robust construction ensures environmental adaptability, performing accurately across a broad industrial temperature range.
