Generic RP-C10-ST Force Sensitive Resistor (20g-2kg) - 0.4mm Thickness
The RP-C10-ST is a thin-film force-sensitive resistor (FSR) with a 20g to 2kg sensing range, designed for static and dynamic pressure measurement in compact, low-profile applications. Its two-terminal variable resistor output is easily interfaced with microcontrollers like Arduino or Raspberry Pi using a simple voltage divider circuit for force detection and threshold switching.
Features
- Ultra-thin 0.4mm profile with rear adhesive for easy integration
- Wide force sensitivity range from 20 grams to 2 kilograms
- Fast response time under 10 milliseconds for dynamic sensing
- Two-terminal variable resistor output simplifies circuit design
- Durable construction for long operational life in interactive projects

The RP-C10-ST Force Sensitive Resistor operates on the principle of piezoresistivity, where applied force reduces the internal resistance of a conductive polymer film. This change in resistance is inversely proportional to the force, allowing it to function as both an analog force sensor and a programmable threshold switch. The sensor’s signal can be conditioned via a simple voltage divider to provide a readable analog voltage for microcontrollers.
Designed with a minimal 0.4mm thickness and a protective, waterproof layer, this FSR is suited for integration into tight spaces and environments requiring some moisture resistance. Its quick response time makes it applicable for capturing rapid pressure changes, while its durable build ensures reliability across repeated force cycles in prototyping and end-use applications.
