Tekscan FlexiForce A201-100 Force Sensor - 0-100 lb Range, 3-Pin Square Connector
The Tekscan FlexiForce A201-100 is a piezoresistive, thin-film force sensor with a 0-100 lb (445 N) range, ideal for integration into embedded systems, test equipment, and OEM applications requiring precise, flexible force measurement.
Features
- Piezoresistive sensing element provides decreasing resistance with applied force up to 100 lbs (445 N).
- Ultra-thin, flexible polyester substrate (0.203 mm thick) for non-intrusive integration.
- Standard 3-pin male square pin connector for easy interfacing with conditioning circuits.
- Wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +60°C for robust performance.
- Minimal sensing area dependency and low drift for reliable, repeatable measurements.

The FlexiForce A201-100 operates on the piezoresistive principle, where an applied force to its 9.53 mm diameter active area causes a predictable decrease in the sensor’s internal resistance. This analog resistance change can be conditioned via a simple voltage divider or operational amplifier circuit to produce a voltage signal proportional to the applied load, compatible with microcontroller ADCs on platforms like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or industrial PLCs.
Constructed on a durable polyester substrate, the sensor maintains its electrical characteristics when flexed, only responding to direct pressure on the sensing zone. Its thin profile and flexibility allow it to be mounted on curved surfaces or within tight spaces for applications from product testing to embedded force feedback systems.
