What are J1, J2 and J3 in the FlexiForce circuit schematic on the Tekscan website?
Question/Problem: What are J1, J2 and J3 in the FlexiForce circuit schematic on the Tekscan website?
Answer/Solution: The circuit schematic for FlexiForce sensors can look confusing, but basically, J1 is the Sensor (with 3 pins: 1, 2 and 3). The middle pin is inactive as it is just crimped on for spacing purposes. J1 plugs into J2 (again with 3 terminals, but only the 1st and 3rd are active). J2 can be either a connector of some sort or simply discreet wires attached/soldered to the FlexiForce Sensor’s pins or it can even be a prototype board that the Sensor can plug into. Finally, J3 is the circuit output (Vo). This can also be a connector or wires that are then read by a voltmeter or possibly by a DAQ board into your computer.
