Frequently Asked Questions

What are the available output signal options for this FX293X load cell?

This load cell offers three configurable output modes. It provides a raw millivolt (mV) signal proportional to the applied force. Alternatively, it can be configured for a conditioned analog output of 0.5V to 4.5V for direct ADC connection. The third option is a digital I2C interface, providing calibrated digital readings for easy integration with microcontrollers like Arduino or Raspberry Pi.

What is the recommended supply voltage and power consumption?

The FX293X-100A-0025-L operates from a wide DC supply range of 1.0V to 6.0V, making it compatible with both 3.3V and 5V logic systems. Under typical conditions, the sensor draws approximately 3 mA of current, which is suitable for battery-powered and portable applications where low energy consumption is critical.

How durable is this load cell, and what is its overload capacity?

Built with a rugged stainless steel enclosure and TE's Microfused MEMS technology, the load cell is designed for long-term reliability and high cycle counts. It features a high overrange capability, allowing it to withstand compressive loads up to 2.5 times its rated 25 lbf capacity without permanent damage or calibration shift, providing a safety margin in dynamic applications.

What are the physical dimensions and mounting considerations?

The sensor has a compact footprint of 20 mm by 20 mm and weighs only 6 grams, making it ideal for space-constrained designs. For accurate measurement, it must be mounted such that the compressive force is applied evenly to the central sensing area. Refer to the official TE Connectivity datasheet for detailed mechanical drawings and recommended mounting hardware specifications.
