The LSB206 smart sensor is a miniature load cell from S Beam Jr.® Structure that provides a fully digital SPI and/or UART output in a tiny package. It is a high-performance solution with embedded ultra-low-power, ultra-miniature electronics that converts an analog signal into an impressively fast, high-resolution digital output signal, eliminating the need for an external amplifier and analog-to-digital converter. The LSB206 has a female M3x0.5 thread and offers built-in overload protection of up to 10 times in both directions of tension and compression. This very small load cell communicates directly with microcontrollers via UART or SPI bus in embedded applications, opening up possibilities for use in high-volume PLC, automation and system integration applications.
