Standard Sensors

Standard FSR Solutions

Force Sensing Resistors (FSRs) are robust, polymer thick film (PTF) devices that exhibit a decrease in resistance when increased pressure is applied to the surface of the sensor. This force sensitivity is optimized for use in human touch control of electronic devices such as automotive electronics, medical systems and industrial PCs. FSRs are not a load cell or strain gauge devices though they have many similar properties. They are more appropriate for qualitative rather than precision measurements and are used by companies such as Varian, Baxter, Snap-On and Siemens. Interlink Electronics’ extensive family of standard FSR products are ideal for many basic applications.
