Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the SF15 thin film force sensor and how does it work?

A: The SF15 thin film force sensor is a resistance-type pressure-sensing component made from flexible nanometer film materials. When force is applied to the sensing area, the sensor's electrical resistance changes proportionally, allowing connected microcontrollers or measurement systems to accurately detect and quantify the applied force. It is available in SF15-100 and SF15-600 models covering different force ranges.

Q: What are the main applications for the SF15 force sensor?

A: The SF15 force sensor is widely used in smart home automation, wearable technology, robotics, DIY electronics, and non-diagnostic medical electronics. Its ultra-thin, flexible design makes it ideal for integration into compact devices where space is limited but accurate force detection is required.

Q: What sensing area sizes are available for the SF15 pressure sensor?

A: The SF15 thin film force sensor is available in three sensing diameter options: 10mm, 13mm, and 15mm. This range of sizes allows you to select the best fit for your specific application, whether you're working on a small wearable device or a larger smart home control interface.

Q: Is the SF15 force sensor waterproof?

A: Yes. The SF15 features a dual waterproof and pressure-sensitive construction, making it resistant to splashes and moisture exposure. This ensures dependable performance even in environments where liquid contact is possible.
