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

Device is calibrated at 5 Vdc and 25 C. Sensor is ratiometric to supply voltage. 2. Non-condensing environment. Extended exposure to >90% RH causes a reversible shift of 3% RH. Sensor is light sensitive. For best performance, shield sensor from bright light. FACTORY CALIBRATION DATA TABLE 3.
