P14 Thermo Capacitive Humidity & Temperature Sensor

Description

The P14 Thermo was designed especially for applications in dew point applications and humidity generators. The favorable one chip solution consists of a capacitive humidity sensor, based on the famous P14 sensor, together with a heating element which is also a valid Pt100 - Pt1000 sensor, as the same time. Optimal thermal coupling creates outstanding accuracy. The intrinsic high chemical resistance of the P14 together with its very high dew point temperature and operating temperature clearly puts this sensor as best in class.

Features

  • Use comfortably in dewing conditions
  • Humidity sensor + temperature element on one chip
  • Outstanding accuracy due to thermal coupling
  • High resistance to various chemicals
  • Dewing resistant - fast recovery after dewing, also at very high dewpoint temperatures
  • High operating temperature
  • Linear characteristic curve
  • RoHs conforming
