What types of sensors does Spectra Symbol manufacture?

Spectra Symbol manufactures flex sensors, linear position sensors, rotary potentiometers, and membrane potentiometers including SoftPot, ThinPot, and HotPot series.

How thin are Spectra Symbol sensors?

Spectra Symbol's main sensor series are all under 0.5mm thick, making them ideal for space-constrained applications.

What is a flex sensor used for?

A flex sensor detects deflection or bending on a surface, with resistance changing based on the degree of flex. Applications include robotics, gaming, medical devices, and wearables.

Does Spectra Symbol offer custom sensor lengths?

Yes, Spectra Symbol offers stock lengths from 12mm to 1000mm, with custom solutions available for any length between 10mm and 3000mm.

What was Spectra Symbol's first major product?

Spectra Symbol created the flex sensor used in the Nintendo Power Glove in 1989, pioneering flex sensor technology.
