Honeywell FSS-SMT Series Force Sensors

Honeywell FSS-SMT Series Force Sensors deliver high reliability, with a 20 million Mean Cycles to Failure (MCTF) rating at 25°C. Designed with Surface Mount Technology (SMT), these low-profile sensors enable automated assembly on Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), reducing production costs. The FSS-SMT sensors utilize Honeywell’s advanced piezoresistive micromachined silicon sensing technology for precise force measurement. These sensors feature a low-power, unamplified Wheatstone bridge circuit and provide stable millivolt output across the force range, ensuring accurate and dependable performance.
