FSS020WNGB

FSS020WNGB is a FSS-SMT series low profile force sensor designed to be one of the most reliable force sensor available as illustrated by 20 million Mean Cycles to Failure (MCTF) at 25°C [77°F] rating. This low profile Surface Mount Technology (SMT) sensor allows for automated assembly on a printed circuit board, often helping the customer to reduce assembly costs. The FSS-SMT series force sensor is designed to provide precise and reliable force sensing performance in a compact commercial-grade package. The sensor incorporates Honeywell sensing technology that uses a specialized piezoresistive micromachined silicon sensing element. Application includes medical (infusion pumps, ambulatory non-invasive pumps, Occlusion detection, kidney dialysis machines, enteral pumps), industrial (load and compression sensing, variable tension control, robotic end-effectors, wire bonding equipment).

• Force range of 0N to 20N
• ±0.5BFSL linearity, 1.95mV/V/N max sensitivity
• ±0.2% span repeatability
• 30µm plunger deflection, 0.1ms max response time (10 %FS to 90 %FS), 60N over force
• 6Kohm max input resistance and 6Kohm max output resistance
• Surface mount technology allows for automated assembly and may eliminate hand soldering
• Low deflection (approx. 30 µm typical at full scale) helps reduce measurement error
• Small size minimizes space on the printed circuit board (PCB)
• Provides enhanced sensitivity without compromising signal integrity, resulting in low system noise
• Electrical ratiometric O/P accommodate supply voltage variation, leading to low ratiometricity error
