Notes:

1. The extreme limits that the product can withstand without damage to the product.

2. The temperature range over which the product may safely be exposed without excitation or force applied. Under these conditions, the

product will remain in the specification after excursions to any temperature in this range. Exposure to temperatures beyond this range may

cause permanent damage to the product.

3. The maximum temperature and duration to which the product may be exposed for processing the solder electrical connections.

1. Circled numbers refer to sensor terminals (pins).

Pin 1 = Supply Vs (+), Pin 2 = Output Vo (+), Pin 3 = Ground Vg (-), Pin 4 = Output Vo (-)

2. The force sensor may be powered by voltage or current. Maximum supply voltage is not

to exceed 6 V. Maximum supply current is not to exceed 1.2 mA. Power is applied

across Pin 1 and Pin 3.

3. The sensor output should be measured as a differential voltage across Pin 2 and

Pin 4 (Vo = Vo(+) - Vo(-)). The output is ratiometric to the supply voltage. Shifts in

supply voltage will cause shifts in output. Neither Pin 2 nor Pin 4 should be tied to

ground or voltage supply.
