## Description

A force-sensitive resistor (FSR) that changes its resistance based on how much pressure is applied. This Interlink 406 model features a 38 mm square sensing region, making it useful for detecting physical pressure, squeezing, and weight in your projects. FSRs are simple and low cost, but not precision instruments — expect approximate ranges of response rather than exact measurements. Resistance varies from sensor to sensor by roughly 10%, so they're best for detecting relative force rather than precise weight. Key Features 38 mm Square Sensing Area – Larger active region than round FSRs Variable Resistance – Changes in ohms (Ω) proportional to applied force Breadboard Compatible – Plug directly into a breadboard Low Cost & Simple – Easy analogue input for microcontrollers Tip: The connection tab is crimped onto delicate plastic. Use a breadboard, alligator clips, female header, or terminal block to connect. Soldering is possible but requires a quality iron and quick technique — prolonged heat will melt the plastic and ruin the sensor. Specifications Model – Interlink 406 Sensing Area – 38 × 38 mm (square) Output – Variable resistance (analogue) Tolerance – ~±10% sensor-to-sensor Ideal For Pressure and touch detection Weight-sensing projects (approximate) Interactive art and musical instruments Robotics grip sensing Package Contents 1× Square Force-Sensitive Resistor (Interlink 406) Resources FSR Tutorial (Adafruit Learn)
