However, the sensor can operate without restriction from 5kHz to 100kHz. To calculate the influence of frequency on capacitance measurements : C fkHz=C 10kHz(1.027-0.01185Ln(fkHz)) Polarization In order to get a better reproducibility during measurements, always connect the case of the header (pin 2) to the ground of the circuit. The case of the header is located on the opposite side of the tab.
