## Description

This load cell is perfect for measuring objects up to 3 kg.

The integrated Wheatstone Bridge inside this load cell varies the resistance as one side is loaded, and ensures it doesn't fluctuate with temperature. The downside to this is that you need a special [Load Cell Amplifier](https://core-electronics.com.au/makerverse-load-cell-amplifier.html) to read its tiny variances easily with a microcontroller.

**Specifications**

- Rated for 3kg - highest accuracy at 1.5kg (half of the rated force)
- Dimensions: 12.7 mm x 12.7 mm x 75mm
- Mounting points: 10 mm between holes suited for M4 bolts (5.5mm from edge)
- Wire length: 230 mm
