## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=SEN-27315:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/SEN-27315:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Introducing the SpectraFlex™ Flex Sensor. Enjoy unmatched accuracy with minimal drift, making it a reliable choice for research, industrial operations, or personal projects. This is our lightest sensor to date, a perfect balance of convenience and top-notch performance due to its reduced weight and thickness, which allows maximum adaptability across many applications. Not only is it feather-light, but it’s also incredibly durable, demonstrating a lifespan of over 2 million bend cycles at 180 degrees over an 8mm radius, effectively outlasting and outperforming its predecessors by more than double.

The revolutionary low drift technology it employs ensures near-zero drift, making each reading precise. SpectraFlex stands out with its swift signal responsiveness.

### Features

- Flat Resistance (Ohms): 12,000 ±20%
- Resistance Change Multiplier:defined as a function of bend radius(8mm) and angular deflection (180°): >4x
- Repeatability (under controlled conditions): ±2%
- Operating Temperature: -35°C to +80°C
- -Life Cycle: >2 million cycles with a bend angle of 180° over an 8mm (0.315”) radius
- Recommended Bend Radius: 2.5mm to 8mm
