HIH6120-021-001

The HIH6120-021-001 is a HumidIcon™ Digital Humidity/Temperature Sensor, digital output-type relative humidity (RH) and temperature sensor combined in the same package. Competitive humidity sensors need to go through a 12 hour at 75 %RH rehydration process (which requires special equipment chambers) to correct reflow temperature offset. The Honeywell sensor also experiences an offset after reflow; however, it only requires a five hour rehydration under ambient conditions (>50%RH). Honeywell specifies total error band - the most comprehensive, clear and meaningful measurement - that provides the sensor's true accuracy of ±5 %RH over a compensated range of 5 to 50°C (41 to 122°F) and 10 to 90%RH. The new Honeywell HIH6120/6121 series sensors use a laser trimmed, thermoset polymer capacitive sensing element. The element's multilayer construction provides resistance to most application hazards such as condensation, dust, dirt, oils and common environmental chemicals.
