RS first with world’s smallest humidity sensor from Sensirion

OXFORD, UK: RS Components has announced the exclusive launch of the world’s smallest digital humidity sensor, the Sensirion SHT-21. Samples of the ground-breaking digital Relative Humidity and Temperature (RH&T) sensor are in stock at RS warehouses around the world now.

The ultra small SHT-21 digital RH&T sensor from Sensirion integrates calibration memory and a digital interface in to an extremely small 3x3mm footprint. The humidity sensor provides electronic read-out of tracking information while the complete over-moulding of the senor chip – with the exception of the humidity sensor area – protects the humidity and temperature sensor against external impact and leads to excellent stability against aging, shock and volatile chemicals.

Andrea Orzati, International Sales Director of Sensirion commented: “The SHT-21 is a ground breaking product setting new standards in miniaturization for this class of sensor. By making it available through RS, we are offering customers the opportunity to order a sample on line and have it on their bench the next day. RS is a key channel for us in taking innovative technologies like this to market.”

Jonathan Boxall, Semiconductor and Test & Measurement Business Manager at RS Components said: “We are seeing continued and growing interest in ‘smart metering’ and associated industrial and residential control systems. The addition of this exceptionally highly integrated and compact RH&T sensor to our product line will definitely help our customers develop smarter systems that provide greater functionality with improved accuracy.”

The Sensirion SHT-21 is exclusive to RS until the end of August.
