Thin-film Humidity Sensing Element SH

* Low cost
* Wide T/RH operating zone
* Operating temperature up to 200 deg C
* Excellent sensibility
* Very good dynamic properties
* Short response time
* Long-term stability
* Measurement range: 0 - 100 %RH

The SH relative humidity sensing element consists of a system of electrodes on a glass-ceramic substrate, covered by a humidity-sensitive polymer coating and a water-vapor permeable metallic membrane. This coating system represents a humidity-dependent capacitor. Utilizing the principal of capacitive measurement, SH measures relative humidity in air or other non-aggressive gases and gas mixtures with good long-term stability and linearity, small hysteresis, and excellent dynamic response.
