DESCRIPTION
The HIH-5030/5031 Series delivers instrumentation-quality RH
(Relative Humidity) sensing performance in a competitively
priced, solderable SMD.
The HIH-5030/5031 Series Low Voltage Humidity Sensors
operate down to 2.7 Vdc, often ideal in battery-powered
systems where the supply is a nominal 3 Vdc.
The HIH-5030 is a covered integrated circuit humidity sensor.
The HIH-5031 is a covered, condensation-resistant, integrated
circuit humidity sensor that is factory-fitted with a hydrophobic
filter allowing it to be used in many condensing environments
including industrial, medical and commercial applications.
The HIH 5030/5031 complements our existing line of 5 Vdc
SMD (Surface Mount Device) humidity sensors. SMD
packaging on tape and reel allows for use in high volume,
automated pick and place manufacturing, eliminating lead
misalignment to printed circuit board through-holes.
The RH sensor uses a laser trimmed, thermoset polymer
capacitive sensing element with on-chip integrated signal
conditioning.
The HIH-5030/5031 Series Humidity Sensors are designed
specifically for high volume OEM (Original Equipment
Manufacturer) users.
The sensing element's multilayer construction provides
excellent resistance to most application hazards such as
condensation, dust, dirt, oils and common environmental
chemicals.
Direct input to a controller or other device is made possible by
this sensor s near linear voltage output. With a typical current
draw of only 200 A, the HIH-5030/5031 Series is ideally
suited for many low drain, battery operated systems.
Sample packs are available. See order guide.
Tight sensor interchangeability reduces or eliminates OEM
production calibration costs.
