HIH-4602-A/C Series Humidity Sensors DESCRIPTION HIH-4602-A/C Series Relative Humidity (RH) sensors combine both relative humidity and temperature sensing in a TO-5 housing with a hydrophobic sintered stainless steel filter. The laser-trimmed, thermoset polymer capacitive sensing elements have on-chip integrated signal conditioning. The HIH-4602-A contains an integral thermistor, while the HIH4602-C contains an integral precision RTD. Factory calibration data supplied with each sensor allows individually matched downstream electronics and 3.5 %RH total accuracy. The temperature sensor is thermally connected with the RH sensor making the HIH-4602-A/C often ideal for measuring dew point and other absolute moisture terms. FEATURES * Near linear voltage output vs %RH * Laser-trimmed interchangeability * Enhanced accuracy, fast response * Chemically resistant * Stable, low drift performance * Built-in static protection * Often ideal for dew point and absolute moisture measurements * TO-5 housing POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS * Refrigeration * Drying * Meteorology * Battery-powered systems * OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) assemblies HIH-4602-A/C Series TABLE 1.
