Discount Pressure Sensitive Fabric Switch

Customer Ratings:

This pressure sensitive fabric is very clever and works fine. Just don't make the mistake I did and try shortening it. I wanted a 6" length and cut it and then spent about an hour trying to prevent the cut ends of the conductive wires from shorting. If you connect to one end of the strip, you will see about 100 Ohms when the fabric is pressed firmly close to that end and about 1 to 2K Ohms at the other end, so it's not really a "switch" it's a pressure sensitive resistance that does go open circuit with NO pressure on it. It can be used with the logic level input of a microcontroller with a 1K pull up/down to bias it.
