GENERAL INFORMATION
The HIH-3605 monolithic IC (Integrated
Circuit) humidity sensor is designed spe-
cifically for high volume OEM (Original
Equipment Manufacturer) users. Direct
input to a controller or other device is
made possible by this sensor’s linear volt-
age output. With a typical current draw of
only 200 A, the HIH-3605 is ideally suit-
ed for low drain, battery powered sys-
tems.
The HIH-3605 delivers instrumentation
quality RH sensing performance in a low
cost, solderable SIP (Single In-line Pack-
age). Available in two lead spacing con-
figurations, the RH sensor is a laser
trimmed thermoset polymer capacitive
sensing element with on-chip integrated
signal conditioning.

NIST CALIBRATION
HIH-3605 sensors may be ordered with a NIST calibration and
sensor specific data printout. Append ‘‘−CP’’ to the model
number to order.
RH SENSOR CONSTRUCTION
Sensor construction consists of a planar capacitor with a sec-
ond polymer layer to protect against dirt, dust, oils and other
hazards.

CAUTION
PRODUCT DAMAGE
The inherent design of this component causes it to be sensitive
to electrostatic discharge (ESD). To prevent ESD-induced
damage and/or degradation, take normal ESD precautions
when handling this product.

Notes:
1. Extended exposure to
