Product Information
Overview

The HIH-4000-001 is one of our favorite humidity sensors due both to its near-linear voltage output and 0.1" lead spacing.  It is tremendously simple to integrate into any project where humidity sensing is called for.  

Only 3-pins are on the device--a positive voltage pin, a ground pin and an output pin. 

Description

The HIH-4000 Series Humidity Sensors are designed specifically for high volume OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) users. 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 µA, the HIH-4000 Series is often ideally suited for low drain, battery operated systems.

Tight sensor interchangeability reduces or eliminates OEM production calibration costs.  The HIH-4000 Series delivers instrumentation-quality RH (Relative Humidity) sensing performance in a competitively priced, solderable SIP (Single In-line Package).  The RH sensor is a laser trimmed, thermoset polymer capacitive sensing element with on-chip integrated signal conditioning. The sensing element's multilayer construction provides excellent resistance to most application hazards such as wetting, dust, dirt, oils and common environmental chemicals.
