Since thin-film sensors are not typically designed for high-precision weighing (like a load cell), they require calibration to map voltage output to specific grams/force.
The ZD10-100 acts as a static non-loaded open circuit (>10MΩ). When mechanical stress overcomes its activation threshold, its core resistance falls precipitously into a measurable dynamic range spanning roughly several hundred ohms to tens of kilo-ohms. Mechanical & Physical Parameters

This phenomenon is entirely reversible and is the basis of all FSR sensors. Because the change in resistance is large and easily measurable, FSRs are widely used for touch sensing, pressure detection, and force measurement in applications where very high absolute accuracy is not required. Since thin-film sensors are not typically designed for
Capable of detecting small pressure changes, starting from roughly 50g, it is sensitive enough for precise human-machine interface applications.

Detects minimal pressure changes, with a response point less than 50g.
The pins are made of copper with a tin plating and can be soldered to wires or directly to a PCB. However, because the substrate is thin and flexible, soldering temperatures should be kept as low as possible (recommended below 300 °C, with a short dwell time) to avoid damaging the film.

Unlike standard force-sensing resistors (FSRs) that require perfectly flat, rigid backing plates, the thin film profile allows the ZD10-100 to bend and conform around curved geometries. It acts simultaneously as a static pressure sensor and a physical flex/bend tracker. ZD10-100 New upgrade4.0 - Sensor + Test
