Y3 Strain Gauge Bending Sensor Module with Weighing Amplifier | 5V Analog Output
Y3 Strain Gauge Bending Sensor Module with Weighing Amplifier – 5V Analog Output
This sensor module combines a precision strain gauge bending sensor with an integrated weighing amplifier, providing a stable analog voltage proportional to applied force or weight. It is suitable for DIY weighing scales, force measurement, and structural bending detection. Operating on 5V DC, the module offers a simple interface for microcontrollers like Arduino and ESP32.

Compatibility
This module works with any microcontroller or single-board computer that accepts analog inputs, such as Arduino Uno, Mega, Nano, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi (via ADC). It outputs a linear voltage signal, making it compatible with standard 5V ADC pins. For best results, use a microcontroller with a 10-bit or higher ADC resolution.
Wiring Notes
Connect VCC to 5V, GND to ground, and the signal wire to an analog input pin. Avoid long wires to minimize noise; if extension is necessary, use shielded cable. No pull-up resistors are required—the amplifier output is fully conditioned.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino Uno?
Yes, connect the signal output to any analog pin (A0–A5) and use the analogRead() function to obtain values.
What is the maximum weight I can measure?
The measurable range depends on the strain gauge’s rating, typically up to 5 kg; for heavier loads, consider a higher-capacity sensor.
Does this module require calibration?
Yes, calibration is necessary to map analog readings to actual weight units; you can use known reference weights.
