Amphenol Advanced Sensors ChipCap2 Humidity & Temperature Sensors

Amphenol Advanced Sensors ChipCap2 Humidity and Temperature Sensors consist of a capacitive polymer sensor chip and a CMOS integrated circuit with EEPROM. The embedded systems are housed in reflow solderable SMD and SIP packages. Each unit is individually calibrated and tested, with performance from 20% to 80% RH at ±2% (±3% over the entire humidity range). Amphenol Advanced Sensors ChipCap2 Humidity and Temperature Sensors require no further calibration or temperature compensation. Linear output signals are provided in various interfaces based on user requirements. Suitable applications include energy-saving HVAC control, process control and instrumentation, automobile and transportation, and medical.
