The RP-C series flexible pressure sensor is constructed from ultra thin film materials with excellent mechanical properties, conductive layers, and nano scale pressure sensitive materials. These layers work together to convert applied pressure into measurable resistance changes.
Sensor Structure
The sensor consists of two main thin film layers bonded together using adhesive. The upper layer contains a pressure sensitive conductive film, while the lower layer contains a conductive circuit pattern. When pressure is applied to the sensing area, the layers come into contact through the pressure sensitive material, creating a conductive path.
As the applied pressure increases, the electrical resistance between the sensor terminals decreases. This change in resistance allows the sensor to convert physical pressure into an electrical signal that can be measured using a microcontroller or analog circuit.
Sensor Dimensions
The diagram above shows the physical dimensions and structure of the RP-C7.6-LT pressure sensor, including the circular sensing area and extended flexible leads used for electrical connection.
Force vs Resistance Characteristics
The resistance of the sensor decreases as the applied force increases. This characteristic allows the sensor to be used in voltage divider circuits where the output voltage corresponds to the applied pressure.
Basic Connection
The sensor functions as a variable resistor. It is commonly connected in a voltage divider circuit with a fixed resistor. The voltage at the divider output can be measured using an analog input of a microcontroller such as Arduino or other embedded development boards to determine the applied pressure.
