RP-C18.3-LT Force Sensitive Resistor (20g-6kg) - Flexible Thin-Film Sensor
The RP-C18.3-LT is a flexible thin-film force-sensitive resistor (FSR) providing variable resistance output from 500KΩ to 500Ω across a 20g to 6kg force range. Its ultra-thin 0.4mm profile and flexible construction make it ideal for integration into pressure-sensing applications with microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32.
Features
- High-sensitivity thin-film resistive technology for precise force detection.
- Wide measurement range from 20 grams to 6 kilograms.
- Ultra-thin 0.4mm profile with flexible, conformable design.
- Fast 1ms response time for dynamic pressure sensing.
- Simple variable resistance output (500KΩ to 500Ω) for easy ADC interfacing.

The RP-C18.3-LT Force Sensitive Resistor operates on the principle of piezoresistivity, where applied force decreases the electrical resistance across its active sensing area. This change is highly repeatable, allowing for the translation of mechanical pressure into a measurable analog voltage signal when used with a simple voltage divider circuit.
Constructed with a durable, flexible polymer substrate, the sensor maintains performance across a wide range of environmental conditions. Its minimal hysteresis and fast response time enable accurate detection of both static and dynamic force events, suitable for embedded systems and industrial control interfaces.
