Spectra Symbol Flex Sensor-FS-L-055-253-MP 80mm Male Pins Connector
The Spectra Symbol FS-L-055-253-MP is a 2.2″ flexible bend sensor with a 10KΩ variable resistance output, ideal for angle and displacement measurement in robotics, medical devices, and interactive electronics. Its 80mm length with male pin connector is breadboard-friendly for direct integration with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other 3.3V/5V microcontrollers.
Features
- 80mm (2.2″) active flex length with 0.1″ spaced male pin connector for direct breadboard/protoboard use.
- Variable resistance output: 10KΩ nominal flat resistance (±30%) increasing with bend angle.
- Robust >1 million bend cycle life rating for long-term reliability in motion-sensing applications.
- Ultra-thin 0.43mm profile for seamless integration into wearable devices and flexible assemblies.
- 0.5W continuous power rating (1W peak) for stable operation in low-power embedded systems.

The Spectra Symbol Flex Sensor operates on a simple resistive principle. A conductive ink pattern is printed on a flexible polymer substrate; as the sensor bends, the conductive path elongates and narrows, causing a measurable increase in electrical resistance proportional to the bend radius. This analog resistance change can be read via a voltage divider circuit connected to any microcontroller’s ADC input.
Designed for durability, the sensor withstands over one million flex cycles, making it suitable for repetitive motion tracking. Its ultra-thin 0.43mm construction and sensitive 80mm active sensing area allow for precise detection of angular displacement, while the rigid base with integrated male pins protects the electrical connections and provides a secure mounting point. Care must be taken to bend only the active sensing area to prevent damage.
