TE Connectivity FS2050-0000-1500-G

The FS20 is a low compression force sensor that opens new markets previously unattainable due to cost and performance constraints. The FS20 provides normalized zero and span for interchangeability, and is thermally compensated for zero and span shifts over temperature.

The FS20 uses TE's proprietary Microfused technology, which bonds micromachined silicon piezoresistive strain gauges to a high-performance stainless steel substrate using high-temperature glass fusion. Microfused technology eliminates the aging-sensitive organic epoxies used in conventional load cell designs, delivering excellent long-term span and zero stability. The FS20 measures direct force and is therefore immune to the lead-chip fatigue failures common in competing designs that use pressure capsules embedded in silicone gel-filled cavities. Microfused technology operates at extremely low strain levels, providing virtually unlimited cycle life expectancy, superior resolution, and high overrange capability.

Whether you require thousands or millions of load cells per year, the FS20 can bring your OEM products to life. While standard models serve a wide range of applications, our dedicated design team at the Load Cell Engineering Center is ready to provide custom designs for your OEM application.
