PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Thickness 0.203 mm (0.008 in.)
Substrate Polyester
Force Range The A502 sensor is available in a 0-222 N (0-50 lb) range, specified with Tekscan electronics.
This model is linear through a much lower range of 0-22 N (0-5 lb), and is capable of
measuring loads up to 44,482 N (10,000 lb).
* Sensor will require an adapter/extender to connect to the ELF System. Contact your Tekscan representative for
assistance.
ROHS
Compliant ** Length does not include pins, please add approximately 6 mm (0.25 in.) for pin length for a total length of
approximately 87 mm (3.4 in).

Recommended Circuit
In order to measure higher forces, apply a lower drive voltage
RF**
(-0.5 V, -0.10 V, etc.) and reduce the resistance of the feedback VOUT = -VT * (RF / RS)
resistor (1k min.) To measure lower forces, apply a higher GND
drive voltage and increase the resistance of the feedback VOUT
resistor. MCP 6004
