Force-Sensing Resistors

Written by Cubbison | Apr 4, 2014 7:50:00 PM

When your application requires the detection of an increased applied force, then Force Sensitive Resistors may be the technology needed for your membrane switch.  A resistor is a device that reduces and regulates current flow in an electrical circuit. Resistors consist of a conductive polymer, which changes resistance in a predictable manner following application force.  They are supplied as a polymer sheet or ink that is applied by screen printing.  Cubbison’s in-house Engineers will design each resistor specific to your application.  Contact us for additional information at salesengineer@cubbison.com.
