It converts applied force into a measurable electrical signal, making it ideal for building digital kitchen scales, small parts counters, or force measurement tools. With a compact form factor and high linearity, it integrates easily with common microcontrollers using an HX711 amplifier module.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRated Output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.0 ±0.15 mV\/V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBridge Resistance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1000 ± 50 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExcitation Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5–10 V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-linearity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e≤ 0.05% F.S.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-10°C to +40°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Can Build With This\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDigital kitchen scale with LCD readout\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmall parts counter for inventory management\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eForce-sensitive trigger or presence detector\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDIY coffee dosing scale for espresso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sensor works with any microcontroller or single-board computer that can read analog signals, such as Arduino Uno, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi. For best results, pair it with an HX711 load cell amplifier module, which provides 24-bit ADC resolution and simplifies reading the wheatstone bridge. Operates at 5V logic, compatible with 3.3V systems if using level shifting for the data line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWiring Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical wire color code: red (Excitation+), black (Excitation-), green (Signal+), white (Signal-). Connect to HX711: E+ to red, E- to black, A+ to green, A- to white. Always verify polarity with datasheet before powering. Avoid exceeding maximum excitation voltage to prevent damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing.
