As you know, the SEN-10245 is a 50 Kilogram rated device. Does Sparkfun offer, or can point me to a place / manufacturer (of this device) that can possibly offer a 5 Kilogram variant? Thank you.
Check with Omega, they may be able to help you out.
I would steer clear of the cheap three wire load cells.
If you really need something low profile, look for ‘planar beam’ load cells.
Here’s one available in a 7.5kg capacity:
[VPG Tedea-Huntleigh 380 Aluminum, Planar Beam Load Cell
If you don’t need very low profile, use a conventional shear beam load cell(s).](https://www.ricelake.com/en-US/products/product-details/vpg-tedea-huntleigh-380-planar-beam-load-cell-aluminum#/information#parts)
