Flex Sensor 2.2
Minimum Order Quantity: 01 Piece
Product Details:
Flat Resistance | 25K Ohms |
Resistance Tolerance | + / - 30% |
Bend Resistance Range | 45K to 125K Ohms (depending on bend radius) |
Power Rating | 0.50 Watts continuous. 1 Watt Peak |
Life Cycle | More Than 1 Million |
Temperature Range | -35 deg C to +80 deg C |
Description:
A simple Flex Sensor 2.2" in length. As the sensor is flexed, the resistance across the sensor increases. Patented technology by Spectra Symbol - they claim these sensors were used in the original Nintendo Power Glove. I love the Nintendo Power Glove. It's so bad! The resistance of the flex sensor changes when the metal pads are on the outside of the bend (text on inside of bend). Connector is 0.1" spaced and bread board friendly. Check datasheet for full specifications.
Note: Please refrain from flexing or straining this sensor at the base. The usable range of the sensor can be flexed without a problem, but care should be taken to minimize flexing outside of the usable range. For best results, securely mount the base and bottom portion and only allow the actual flex sensor to flex.

Minimum Order Quantity: 01 Piece
Product Details:
Minimum Order Quantity | 1 Piece |
Brand | Tekscan |
Thickness | 0.203 mm (0.008 in.) |
Length | 191 mm (7.5 in.)* (optional trimmed lengths: 152 mm (6 in.), 102 mm (4 in.), 51 mm (2 in.)) |
Width | 14 mm (0.55 in.) |
Sensing Area | 9.53 mm (0.375 in.) diameter |
Connector | 3-pin Male Square Pin (center pin is inactive) |
Substrate | Polyester (ex: Mylar) |
Pin Spacing | 2.54 mm (0.1 in.) |
Range | 445 N (0 - 100 lb) |
Description:
A201 sensors are trimmable and have a 3-pin male connector. The sensors are available in three force ranges: Low 4.4 N (0 - 1 lb), Medium 111 N (0 - 25 lb) and High 445 N (0 - 100 lb)*. The force ranges stated are approximations. The dynamic range of this small, versatile force sensor can be modified by changing the drive voltage and adjusting the resistance of the feedback resistor.
