Product Specification

HM1520/HM1520LF Relative Humidity Sensor Description

Based on the rugged HS1101LF capacitive humidity sensor, HM1520LF is a dedicated humidity transducer designed for measurements at low humidity. Direct measurement of dew point or water concentration can be easily obtained in really cost effective conditions. Direct interface with a micro-controller is made possible with the module’s linear voltage output.
