Generic Force Sensitive Resistor RP-S5-ST (10g-1kg) - Thin Film Sensor
The RP-S5-ST is a thin-film force-sensitive resistor (FSR) providing variable resistance from 500 kΩ to 500 Ω in response to applied force within a 10g to 1kg range. Its ultra-thin 0.25mm profile with rear adhesive makes it ideal for integration into compact electronics, robotics, and interactive prototypes requiring pressure or touch input.
Features
- Ultra-thin 0.25mm profile with integrated adhesive backing for easy mounting.
- Wide dynamic resistance range from ~500 kΩ (no load) down to ~500 Ω (1kg load).
- Precise low-force detection with an actuation threshold as low as 10 grams.
- Robust operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C for diverse environments.
- Simple two-terminal resistive interface compatible with voltage divider circuits for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers.

The RP-S5-ST Force Sensitive Resistor operates on the principle of piezoresistivity, where the electrical resistance through a specialized polymer Matrix decreases predictably with increasing applied force. This analog output provides a continuous measurement of pressure, making it suitable for dynamic force profiling rather than simple on/off detection.
Constructed with a durable, flexible substrate, the sensor maintains its sensing characteristics across a wide industrial temperature range. The integrated adhesive layer simplifies installation into end-use applications without the need for additional mechanical fasteners, preserving its minimal form factor for space-constrained designs.
