Precision measurement, fast response, low hysteresis, sustained performance

TE CONNECTIVITY ( TE) has released the HTU31 humidity and temperature sensor, claiming it as one of the smallest and most accurate humidity sensors currently on the market. The unit is to meet the demand for humidity sensing technology and the need for smaller, faster, more accurate and energy efficient sensors, which provide better analysis of moisture control, say TE.

Designed to meet environmental and end user expectations, TE says HTU31 is an ideal solution for appliance, consumer, industrial and medical applications. Key features of the HTU31 humidity and temperature sensor include:

• Precision engineering: Designed with precision engineering, HTU31’s linear response enables optimal system performance. It keeps a strict linear response curve through humidity (0-100 percent) and temperature (- 40° to 125°C), respectively.

• Fast response time: HTU31’s humidity die structure enables fast response time (t63 percent in 5 seconds). Even after condensation the response time is t63 percent in 10 seconds, enabling sustained system performance.

• High performance: HTU31 provides a specific die and IP67 rated sealing with filter options that enable sustained performance, low hysteresis and precise environment measurement even when exposed to high temperature, high humidity or condensation events.

• Digital and analog versions: The HTU31 comes in a digital and analog version. The digital version offers two I2C addresses, which facilitates monitoring humidity and temperature in two locations using a single I2C bus line.

The HTU31 humidity and temperature sensor is available in small and large volumes ‘to meet ever-changing customer demands’.
