## Description

The RP-L-170 is a long, flexible thin-film pressure sensor with a 170mm active area for detecting both static and dynamic pressure. As pressure is applied, the sensor's resistance decreases — making it easy to read with any analogue input on a microcontroller. Built from ultra-thin film with nanometre pressure-sensitive layers, the sensor is just 0.35mm thick. It triggers at under 20g and measures up to 10kg or more, with a response time under 10ms and a lifespan exceeding 1 million cycles. Key Features Ultra-Thin & Flexible – 0.35mm thick, easily integrated into wearables and surfaces Wide Measurement Range – 20g to 10kg+ pressure detection Fast Response – Less than 10ms response time, under 0.01s activation Long Lifespan – Over 1 million cycles Low Drift – Less than 5% under 2.5kg static load over 24 hours No EMI/ESD Generation – Safe for sensitive electronics Specifications Sensor Length: 170mm Thickness: 0.35mm Trigger Force: <20g (default resistance <200kΩ) Pressure Range: 20g–10kg+ Initial Resistance: >10MΩ Activation Time: <0.01s Response Time: <10ms Operating Temperature: −40°C to +85°C Lifespan: >1 million cycles Hysteresis: +10% (1000g force) Drift: <5% (2.5kg force, static load 24h) Ideal For Pressure switches and touch interfaces Bed and seat monitoring systems Smart footwear and wearables Medical device systems Arduino and microcontroller projects Package Contents 1× RP-L-170 Thin Film Pressure Sensor
