You need to measure force or pressure and a rigid load cell won't fit your design. This thin-film sensor is under 0.25mm thick, waterproof, and flexes with whatever surface it's mounted on. Press the centre pad and you get a proportional electrical signal back – it works like a variable resistor, so wiring it up is as simple as a pot. Three-pin header, breadboard-ready. Most accurate in the 0–0.5kg range, handles up to 10kg gross if you need headroom. Response time under 1ms means it keeps up with fast-acting mechanisms
