Square Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR) Pressure Sensor
The Square Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR) is a thin, lightweight, and flexible pressure sensor designed to detect touch, pressure, squeezing, and applied force. The sensor changes its electrical resistance according to the amount of force applied, making it ideal for analog force measurement in electronics and embedded systems.
Compatible with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, NodeMCU, STM32, and other development platforms, the Square FSR is widely used in robotics, medical devices, gaming controllers, wearable technology, interactive installations, electronic musical instruments, and industrial automation.
Its flexible construction allows easy integration into custom projects where conventional mechanical switches are not suitable.
Whether you're building a pressure-sensitive controller, smart wearable, robotic gripper, or interactive prototype, the Square Force Sensitive Resistor offers reliable and responsive force sensing.
