FSLP Sensor

Force Sensing Linear Potentiometer for menu navigation and control

The Force Sensing Linear Potentiometer (FSLP) is Interlink Electronics' solution for capturing position and force simultaneously in compact applications. It functions as a linear potentiometer with the ability to detect a user's force for high-rate scrolling and a more intuitive experience. The sensor's tough, moisture-resistant surface can be operated with a finger, stylus, or glove — even in harsh environments. Measurement is simple enough that it can be done directly with the host processor, with no dedicated microcontroller required. "Wake on touch" functionality reduces power consumption. Various actuator materials, including metallic, are available. Also available in an AntiMicrobial version.
