Digital humidity/temperature sensors

Paul Boughton
Honeywell’s new HumidIcon combined humidity/temperature sensors of the HIH-6130/6131 series is a lowest total cost solution for many HVAC, refrigeration, respiratory therapy, medical incubator/ microenvironment and meteorology applications, according to Sensortechnics.

With its low power consumption and sleep mode functionality the sensors are ideal for battery powered OEM devices.

The humidity/temperature sensors consist of a thermoset polymer capacitive sensing element and provide excellent resistance against condensation, dust, dirt and other environmental hazards.

The HIH-6130/6131 series features an industry-leading Total Error Band of ±5 %RH over a compensated temperature range of 5…50 °C and 10…90 %RH together with a long-term stability of 1.2 %RH over five years. The sensors offer a digital I²C bus output with 14-bit resolution and ultra-small SOIC-8 SMD packages.
