    This document summarizes a humidity sensor product from Philips Components. The sensor is a capacitive device consisting of a non-conductive foil coated with gold layers, whose capacitance varies with ambient humidity levels between 10-90%. It is used to measure humidity in domestic hygrometers and self-regulating air humidifiers. The sensor has a response time of less than 5 minutes, hysteresis of 3%, and operates between -25-85°C storage and 0-85°C operating temperatures.

    Humidity sensor
    APPLICATIONS Humidity measurements in electronic hygrometers for domestic use Self-regulating air humidifiers, etc. DESCRIPTION This capacitive atmospheric humidity sensor consists of a non-conductive foil, which is covered on both sides with a layer of gold. The dielectric constant of the foil changes as a function of the relative humidity of the ambient atmosphere and, accordingly, the capacitance value of the sensor is a measure for relative humidity. The foil is clamped between contact springs and assembled in a plastic housing. It is provided with two connecting pins which fit printed-circuit boards with a grid pitch of 2.54 mm, provision is also made for fastening with 3 mm bolts. The characteristics are not affected by incidental water condensation on the sensor foil. It should not be exposed to either acetone or chlorine vapours. QUICK REFERENCE DATA PARAMETER Humidity range (RH) Capacitance at +25 C; 43% RH; 100 kHz Sensitivity between 12 and 75% RH Frequency Maximum AC or DC voltage Storage humidity range (RH) Ambient temperature range: operating storage Drop test: height of free fall Mass 1
