Force Sensor Resistor Square
This FSR (force sensitive resistor) has a 1.75 x 1.5″ square sensing area that changes its resistance based on the applied pressure. The more force, the less resistance. Without pressure, the resistance is over 1MΩ.
The FSR can detect forces from 100g to 10kg. It has two pins with 0.1″ pitch that fit into a breadboard. It also has a rubber backing with adhesive to attach the sensor to a surface.
To use the FSR, connect it to a resistor in a voltage divider circuit and measure the voltage at the junction. The voltage will vary with the force. These sensors are easy to use and good for detecting pressure, but not very precise. They can tell if something is squeezing them, but not how much it weighs.
Dimensions:
– Overall length: 3.5″
– Overall width: 1.75″
– Sensing area: 1.75×1.5″

Force Sensor Resistor Square Overview
The Force Sensor Resistor Square is a thin-film FSR with a 1.75″ × 1.5″ active sensing area that changes resistance based on applied pressure, from light taps (~100 g) up to 10 kg. Ideal for integrating force detection into electronics projects, robotics, wearable devices and prototyping.
Key Features of Force Sensor Resistor Square
- 1.75″ × 1.5″ square sensing area detecting 100 g–10 kg of force
- Ultra-thin 0.45 mm profile for low-profile integration
- Durable polymer construction rated for up to 10 million actuations
- Breadboard-compatible dual pins at 0.1″ pitch
- Self-adhesive rubber backing for easy mounting

Applications and Use Cases
- Pressure-sensitive input for DIY robotics and automation triggers
- Weight detection in smart scales, inventory systems and package sensors
- Touch-sensitive controls for custom gamepads and musical interfaces
- Seating or posture pressure mapping in ergonomic studies and wearables
- Force feedback detection in prosthetic limbs and orthotic devices
How to Use Force Sensor Resistor Square
Mount the sensor on a clean, flat surface using its adhesive backing, then wire one pin to 5 V, the other through a fixed-value resistor (e.g., 10 kΩ) to ground. Read the junction voltage with an analog input (Arduino, ESP32, etc.)—higher force yields a lower resistance and thus a higher measured voltage in your voltage divider circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the Force Sensor Resistor Square with Arduino?
Yes. Connect one end of the FSR to 5 V, the other end to a 10 kΩ resistor tied to ground, and read the voltage at their junction with an analog input pin.
How do I mount the sensor on surfaces?
The sensor features a rubber backing with peel-off adhesive—simply remove the protective film and press onto a clean, smooth surface.
What is the typical response time and durability?
This FSR responds in milliseconds to pressure changes and is rated for up to 10 million actuations, ensuring reliable long-term performance.
