Char acteristics
The average increase of capacitance over the
working range is 55pF. For the range of
0–98% RH linear approximation is possible, errors
will be lower than < ± 2% RH.
The sensor characteristic is determined by the
following linear formula:
C(RH) = C
0
* [1+HC
0
* RH]
with HC
0
= 3420 ± 250 ppm /% RH
relative humidity [% RH]
For high accuracy requirements, the sensitivity is determined by the following polynomial:
C(RH) = C
0
* [1 + HC
0
* RH + K(RH)]
whereby:
K(RH) = A

Mounting Instr uctions
contact area
To allow full access of the air, the humidity sensor should
be positioned over an opening in the printed circuit board
(PCB).
False readings because of humidity assimilation at the
front side of the PCB should be avoided as much as
possible by using gold-plated-through holes.
Assemb ling and Soldering
HC103M2 sensor series are designed for SMD automatic assembling with subsequent reflow-
soldering. For more details please refer to mounting instructions.
Recommended SMD equipment:
·
Automatic tooling machine with suction pipette
·
Optical control for sensor identification
