Flex Sensor (Bend) 4.5 Inch (11.43cm)

This is a simple flex sensor of length 4.5 inch manufactured by Spectra Symbol. The resistance across the sensor terminals increases as the sensor is flexed. This is a patented technology by Spectra Symbol. This sensor can be easily interfaced with Microcontrollers, Arduino Boards, and Raspberry Pi etc. using an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC).

Electrical Specifications:
– Flat Resistance: 10KΩ
– Bend Resistance Range: 60K ~ 110KΩ (depending upon bend radius)
