## Description

The Interlink 402 is a round force-sensitive resistor (FSR) with a 12.7 mm (0.5″) sensing area. It changes resistance based on applied pressure — the harder you press, the lower the resistance — making it a simple, low-cost way to detect physical pressure, squeezing, and weight in your projects. FSRs provide a range of response rather than precise measurements, with approximately ±10% variation between sensors. They're ideal for detecting relative force (light touch vs. hard press) but not suited for exact weight measurement. Connect using a breadboard, alligator clips, female headers, or terminal blocks — soldering directly to the tabs risks melting the plastic and damaging the sensor. Key Features 12.7 mm (0.5″) Round Sensing Area – Compact force detection zone Variable Resistance – Decreases with applied pressure Simple Analogue Interface – Read with any microcontroller's ADC pin Low Cost – Affordable pressure sensing for prototypes Flexible Plastic Construction – Thin and easy to mount Warning: Do not solder directly to the FSR tabs unless you are confident in your soldering skills. The plastic material melts quickly — use a breadboard, clamp connector, or terminal block instead. Ideal For Touch and pressure detection in interactive projects Wearable electronics and e-textiles Musical instruments and game controllers Squeeze and grip detection Package Contents 1× Round Force-Sensitive Resistor (Interlink 402) Resources FSR Tutorial — Wiring, Code Examples & Projects
