Pro-Wave now presents a series of mechno-electrical sensors and detectors produced by advanced piezoelectric polymer film technology. The polymer film of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVF2) exhibits a conspicuous piezoelectric effect and also has high compliance comparing with other piezoelectric crystals or ceramic materials. Because of its superior piezoelectric strain constant (g value), 10-20 times larger than piezoelectric ceramic, it is an ideal sensing material for converting mechanical to electrical energy.
Pro-Wave's FS-2513P is a flexible piezoelectric film sensor made from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVF2). It offers a high mechano‑electrical coefficient, low mechanical impedance, and excellent moisture resistance, making it suitable for converting mechanical energy into electrical signals.
Typical applications include vibration and motion detection, low‑weight accelerometers, pressure or force sensing, keyboards and touch panels, coin and impact detection, as well as microphones and headset speakers. The datasheet lists key specifications such as voltage sensitivity, transverse sensitivity, resonant frequency, capacitance, operating temperature range, and pin assignments.
