Note: The 1046_0B is identical to the 1046_0, except that it comes pre-assembled in a plastic shell enclosure and you have the option of which length of USB cable you want to include.

The PhidgetBridge lets you connect up to 4 un-amplified Wheatstone bridges, such as:

Strain gauges

Compression load cells

Pressure sensors/Barometers

Piezoresistive accelerometers

Magnetoresistive sensors (Compasses)
