DESCRIPTION
The HCH-1000 series humidity sensor is a capacitive polymer sensor designed for relative humidity measurement. The sensor converts humidity value into capacitance, which can be measured electronically. Polyimide is used as a humidity sensing material because of its inherent IC (Integrated Circuit) processing compatibility, reduced temperature dependence and enhanced resistance against contamination. The HCH-1000-Series is manufactured using semiconductor technology. The sensor consists of a grid top electrode, a polyimide layer, and a bottom electrode. The grid top electrode on the bottom electrode provides enhanced sensitivity when compared to that of a standard structure. A cased version, for dust protection, and an uncased version are available. FEATURES AND BENEFITS Polymer sensing offers enhanced resistance against contamination Reduced temperature dependence Semiconductor fabrication technology Uses glass wafer as substrate Enhanced sensitivity and accuracy provides fast response Low hysteresis and long-term stability POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS Industrial Air compressors Battery-powered systems Drying equipment HVAC (includes air conditioning, air movement, thermostats, humidifiers, de-humidifiers, humidistats, enthalpy sensing) OEM assemblies Office automation equipment Process equipment Refrigeration (includes bulk and transport systems) Telecommunications cabinets Weather stations and meteorology equipment Medical Hospital air compressors Infant incubators Microenvironments Sleep apnea equipment Treadmill stress monitoring equipment
